LONDON – Fashion mogul and former Spice Girl member, Victoria Beckham, has expressed her astonishment at the overwhelmingly positive public reception to a viral moment from her husband David Beckham’s Netflix documentary. The scene, which captured a candid and humorous exchange about her upbringing, became one of the most talked-about elements of the series, released on October 4, 2023.
The now-infamous clip shows Victoria stating that she came from a “working-class” family. Her husband, David, immediately interjects, popping his head around the corner to ask her to specify the type of car her father used to drive her to school.
The comical interaction quickly transcended the documentary itself, generating a massive wave of memes and establishing itself as a cultural touchstone.
In a new interview with The Times on October 5, the 51-year-old designer shared her reflections on the unexpected virality of the moment.
“If I’m being completely honest, I didn’t love me in that documentary,” Victoria admitted, expressing her surprise that David, who “was meant to have left for work,” had actually been in another room watching the monitor.
Despite her initial apprehension, the subsequent public reaction proved to be a learning experience. “I was surprised by how positive the feedback was with what I brought to it,” she revealed.
Reflecting on the deeper lesson, she added, “David’s documentary made me realise how good it feels to be wrong. I like being wrong. I was wrong, and bring it on. I love that.”
Victoria rose to international fame as a member of the iconic girl band, the Spice Girls, before launching her successful eponymous fashion brand in 2008. Her acceptance of the public’s amusement over the scene provides a rare glimpse into the celebrity couple’s ability to embrace the lighter side of their highly scrutinised public life.
