I clicked on your link as I'm a bit shallow like that.


He's 16. So he's suddenly legal. Which means there are options that three months ago there would not have been. So that's diverting. Hot. Ready. Legal Shock

Christ on a bike, who got away with writing this bilge.

That was the weirdest article. I cannot imagine Victoria Beckham would have read that and been happy.

When I see photos of BB he looks like a child to me. To read all of those ridiculous innuendos and the comment about having a small
skateboard, wtf?!!!!

Yeah, that was pretty repulsive reading!

I'm sure he's a perfectly nice kid but he's also very ordinary looking and I can't see anything about him that warrants this kind of attention, other than who his parents are.

Yes, vile. Just because it is not OK to say this about a just turned 16 year old girl anymore, doesn't make it fine for a probably much older woman to say it about a boy. Glad she is being pulled up on it in the comments.

Horrible Sad

I hope his parents have something to say about that.

Horrible, predatory article! I've never been a particular fan of Tatler, but this really is atrocious

Ewww. I have a 16 year old DS and that article is all kinds of wrong.

I notice the DM were chasing him about when he was out on a date last week. He's a child-that can't be right whoever his parents may be.

Gawd, it sounds like those awful lascivious DM articles where they write drooling copy about some sleb's adolescent daughter wearing a swimming costume or a crop top and proclaiming that she's "all grown up". And wasn't there some paper that printed a countdown to when Charlotte Church would be 16 and therefore "legal"?

'Zeitgeist-responsive'. Snort. Reads like it was written by Shiobhan from W1A.

What utter guff.

The DM isn't chasing him - his parents/Simon Fuller are ensuring regular press coverage of him, to continue the 'Brand Beckham'. However distasteful the Tatler article is, I strongly suspect it was fully approved by his parents before publication.

Yuk jeee they are in on it then? that makes it all worse.

What's he doing education/job wise?

Honestly, Sparklingbrook, I dunno. But given the artfully posed Instagram/Twitter posts, and the posed photos for the paps, I think that it's implausible his parents aren't behind it all.

I'd be surprised if his Parents thought this was a responsible article to endorse about their Son.

I read somewhere he's interested in photography and wants a career in that area, don't know how true that is.

Eww calling a 16 year old hot...

I don't get the hype with him though, he's absolutely average looking.

I see the Brooklyn Beckham article and raise you this one on tortured soul Gabriel Day Lewis, who looks uncannily like a young Morrissey.

He worked in a london coffee shop David was on something talking about how they wanted him to have work ethic.even tatler can run non endorsed stories he probably didnt pose for the photo

He looks really bored in the Vogue cover, really bored. It doesn't seem like all this being touted as a 'sexy hunk' comes naturally to him, it's been forced on him. I think he just wants a quiete life really.
