He's never going to be able to have a normal life is he? Quite sad really.

SummerNights1986 · 28/10/2015 10:06

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

Can you even imagine the response if that had been written by a 30-40 year old man about a 16yo girl? It's fucking disgusting.

The Sun did NOT do a Charlotte Church countdown. That myth has been debunked over and over again.

JoySzasz · 28/10/2015 10:13

The sun did a count down for Samantha Fox.

MrsJayy · 28/10/2015 10:13

Ok wasnt the sun slightly scared of thatsnotmyrabbit

KoalaDownUnder · 28/10/2015 10:14

That article is utterly woeful. In both style and content. Truly, utterly, shit.

KoalaDownUnder · 28/10/2015 10:15

MrsJayy that made me Grin

Omg the Gabriel Day Lewis article. My toes will need surgically uncurled.

Pain, turmoil, tattoos, Claridges.

specialsubject · 28/10/2015 10:20

the quote is bad enough, I don't want to read the article.

writing this about anyone is disgusting. But about a child????

BrideOfWankenstein · 28/10/2015 10:21

I suddenly feel so old... In fact "too old for this shit".
I also would like to say that teenage me would never like a guy who looks like that. He just looks average. Not hot at all. More like a classmate type.

Bettercallsaul1 · 28/10/2015 10:21

Poor boy. The price of (vicarious) fame, unfortunately.

squoosh · 28/10/2015 10:25

SUPER creepy! I'm amazed the editorial staff gave that the okay.

MrsJayy · 28/10/2015 10:31

imagine the uproar if i posted on here my dds lad friend has just turned 16 aibu to think he is Hot

Sparklingbrook · 28/10/2015 10:33

YY MrsJayy. Confused

MackerelOfFact · 28/10/2015 10:33

Well that deeply weird article made for uncomfortable reading.

The Beckham kids all seem reassuringly normal to be honest.

Stanky · 28/10/2015 10:34

Didn't they do a count down to Emma Watson turning 16? It's gross either way.

StrawberryTeaLeaf · 28/10/2015 10:34

Ewww

DickDewy · 28/10/2015 10:35

Yuck. I have a son his age and that article is distasteful at best.

Does Brooklyn court this publicity? It's all strange.

He's a very plain looking chap, so the only reason he's getting photo opportunities like this is because of his fame crazy parents.

If he was mine, he'd be keeping the lowest of profiles and concentrating on his A levels.

SettlinginNicely · 28/10/2015 10:40

Yes, yes to this.

Branleuse · 28/10/2015 10:41

i remember there being a countdown in the sun or something for Lindsay Dawn Mackenzie to be 16, where she went from posing in bikini tops, to topless on her birthday

MrsJayy · 28/10/2015 10:42

Its like they are trying to fit him into some kind of celeb niche famous for having famous parents its weird im not really up on the Bekham kids is he the 1 that modelled.

squoosh · 28/10/2015 10:43

I think his parents must be making an effort to increase his brand potential, which is a bit depressing. He didn't just land on the cover of Teen Vogue by accident.

TheHiphopopotamus · 28/10/2015 10:45

This. That article is just so...eww. On top of that, BB is a perfectly average looking 16 year old, it doesn't look like modelling comes naturally to him and he isn't particularly photogenic. I get a bit fed up of seeing the offspring of famous parents, getting pushed into the public eye. Especially ones with no discernible talent.

The Daily Mail does it all the time with their articles about teenage slebs looking "all grown up".

foragogo · 28/10/2015 10:48

that is repulsively written - how old is the writer?
