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

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.

The sun did a count down for Samantha Fox.

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

Pain, turmoil, tattoos, Claridges.

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.

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

Well that deeply weird article made for uncomfortable reading.

The Beckham kids all seem reassuringly normal to be honest.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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".
