To feel sorry for Brooklyn Beckham?

[Ridelikethewindypops]

I just do feel a bit sorry for him. He's completely out of touch with the real world obviously, but he's so young and so gormless. But seems so determined to be famous in his own right, despite no specialist skill set. I wonder do famous parents ever encourage their children to go to uni and get a real job? Or is that not an option? There are plenty of fulfilling jobs he could do, teaching, nursing, even volunteering ( as he clearly doesn't need the money)
I feel bad for him as he gets mocked online, but he still seems determined to put himself out there.
Money aside, I do feel sorry for the children of spectacularly talented parents, it must cast a long shadow. ( I repeat, money aside...😅)

Theres no motivation to excel
Is that something you are born with or is taught by your parents I wonder?
The likes ofBruce Springsteen and Bill Gates daughters excel in equestrian sports, where you have to work hard but injecting cold hard cash certainly gives them an advantage. There has to be a willingness to work too though.
Anyway, just idle musings. These are rich people problems my children will never face 😄

Exactly this.. it's all they have ever known.

There are loads of famous people’s children who do normal jobs/out of limelight. Obviously there are exceptions and if talent has been inherited then that’s great, but if not then they should just get regular jobs (and if the parent has connections that’s fine, but use them wisely).

There are many people I feel sorry for.

Homeless children. Assault victims. People who’ve grown up in poverty. People who’ve lost their jobs.

A talentless, over privileged, millionaire, deluded nepo baby ain’t on my list.

Realistically he isn't going to be holding down a proper job. He's rich, his wife is very rich & of course have the associated lifestyle where they are used to doing what they want when they want.

He comes across as an absolute idiot, he doesn’t appear to have inherited any of his parents’ work ethic and seems completely talentless but apparently unaware of it.

On the other hand his 2 brothers have inherited their parents’ looks while he and his sister are pretty ordinary. That must be quite tough in such an image-conscious family.

There are loads of famous people’s children who do normal jobs/out of limelight.

But generally those are the ones kept out of the limelight. The Beckhams are all about PR & media (look how far they have come from their Hello spread days). I do feel sorry that Brooklyn doesn't know anything else.

If he can keep his mh together I don’t particularly

A very privileged life and other things to be happy about - marriage etc

Victoria Beckham is proof that you can be incredibly famous and rich despite not being amazingly talented.
I'm pretty sure her fashion range/shop is not profitable but they have enough money for her to continue pursuing it. (It pissed me off no end when she won an "entrepreneur" award)
So he's kind of following the same path but without first having the success that she had in the Spice girls.

Let’s assume that Parsons (the US college at which he embarked on, and dropped out of, a photography degree within a year) is indeed ‘notoriously hard to get into’: I don’t know anything about it.

Does anyone believe for one second that poor old Brooklyn got in by passing the interview, or whatever the selection process was? Of course not. He got in with the help of a big pile of cash from mum and dad. So whilst I haven’t got anything positive to say about Brooklyn Beckham, I’m not sure that he can be accused of elbowing out a talented student, because I’ve no doubt that Parsons were happy to create an extra place for the son of a moneybags.

The problem is he was born into a family of fame with plenty of opportunities and privileges given to him. Whatever he wanted, they had a contacts there to open the doors wide open for him and no contacts meant that those doors still opened with money! He has had the best education, the money but lacks motivation because he has nothing to lose hence why he can be a photographer one day and a chef the next. He's been to football (David probably hoped he inherited football skills) and god knows what else behind closed doors we don't know about but the problem is, he has never worked for it and lacks a work ethic his parents have always had but failed to pass onto the kids. Brooklyn seems like a nice person though but I feel sad for all those efforts (by the parents), opportunities, privilege that has gone to waste.

It runs at a loss. Madness.

Spaces aren't infinite. He took up a space and probably undeservedly so.

VB is really talented - everyone laughed when she ditched a singing career (and she can't sing) to become a high end fashion designer.

But she did it and - years later - is highly respected and successful.

And IIRC it tanked because he is, at best, an average photographer and would never have got a publisher if he'd not had those particular parents.

It does your kids no favours letting them think they are special to anyone except you.

If they truly have a talent they will find it (especially if they have the opportunities he has) and it will come out.

She really isn't 😂

There are lots of kids who don't know what they want to do - even by the age of 25.

Having very successful parents can be a hard act to follow.

But it's a vanity business that runs at a loss!

I know what you mean @Ridelikethewindypops He cannot just be ordinary. He's trying to be special because that's what's ordinary in his family.

A normal job in a normal environment might allow him to thrive but he won't just get a job in a nearby company and enjoy the crack and progress through normal channels. He has to keep launching himself ''I'm going to be a photographer!''. then ''I'm going to be a chef!''.

I'm very ordinary myself by the way and even in my wider family of artists and musicians I've felt very unsuccessful. I am seeing now that there's a lack of emotional intelligence in my family and I see that I have attributes they don't even see. It helps a bit.

I'm not sure the brand is that successful when you consider the investment. Davids brands has been incredibly successful.

as in Victoria's fashion line

I think VB's designs are beautiful. She does have talent.

I loved it when Vicky was giving interviews that he got the Burberry gig on his own merits. How she could say that with a straight face? He's lazy, narcissistic and has zero talent. He could easily open a successful business as he has the connections, but he seeks fame.

I can agree with this. I will add he, and the rest of the family, do do a lot of charity & voluntary work out of the spotlight but yes, he could’ve done anything he wanted to do.

I think he does it for fun and attention, he’s basically trolling
