Beckham Nepo-Baby Scores First Movie Role

Jamie McCarthy / Getty ImagesRomeo Beckham, the son of soccer star David Beckham and Spice Girls alum Victoria Beckham, is forging his own path to Hollywood. The 23-year-old is set to make his acting debut in the upcoming feature film Forty Love, starring alongside Paul Kircher, Guillaume Canet, and Benjamin Voisin. Directed by Pierre-Ange Carlotti, the film tells the story of tennis icon Sacha Gallo as he faces an up-and-coming rival, played by Romeo, and ends with him facing an “opponent of an entirely different nature—love,” the synopsis reads. The nepo-baby is fresh off his 2024 retirement from soccer, having previously played for Brentford FC’s reserve team. He’s also had a successful career in modeling for luxury brands such as Yves Saint Laurent and Balenciaga.
