Recounting the incident in an interview with AP, Beckham admitted that revisiting that moment was a difficult experience. “I’ve never talked about these certain moments in my career and in my life,” he said. “I hadn’t actually watched it and I hadn’t actually watched the interviews and what people said about me after.”
“I knew it was bad at the time, but going over the whole thing was quite a tough one,” he added.
Despite the emotional turmoil, Beckham also expressed gratitude for the documentary, acknowledging its value in capturing his life story. “I’m proud of what I’ve achieved,” he said. “I’m proud of my family. I’m proud of where I’ve come from.”
Beckham’s candidness about the emotional impact of the documentary highlights the power of storytelling to evoke deep emotions and bring to light personal struggles that even the most celebrated individuals face.
