David Beckham Says Filming Netflix Doc Was “Really Difficult” & He Had To Feel “Uncomfortable”

David Beckham has opened up about the “really difficult” experience of being interviewed for 50 hours for the hit Netflix doc, while he praised director Fisher Stevens for making him feel “uncomfortable.”

Netflix has faced questions over the authenticity of Beckham, given that it was co-produced by his Studio 99 banner, but Beckham reiterated the point today that he first watched the show at its premiere and was not involved with its editing.

At the RTS London today, he laid out how tough the filming period was.

“It was really difficult and took me a long time to come to terms with the fact I was going to make it,” said the former soccer star. “It made me nervous and it made [wife] Victoria nervous because as much as people think they know everything about us, they don’t.”
