MANILA, Philippines — With parents like Posh Spice /fashion designer Victoria Adams and soccer superstar David Beckham, two of the biggest names in celebrity style, Filipino retail brand Bench scored big time with Brooklyn Beckham.
1. Brooklyn’s girlfriend is Hollywood star Chloe Grace Moretz.
Brooklyn is in the paparazzi radar because of his photogenic parents, and also because of his girlfriend, actress Chloe Grace Moretz (“Kick-Ass,” “Dark Places,” “The 5th Wave”).
2. Brooklyn is a photographer and a published author.
At 18, Brooklyn has a published book to his name, “What I See,” a collection of his photographs of his parents and siblings Romeo, Cruz and Harper, and of random people and global travels.
“When I was approached about curating my photos to publish in a book, I was amazed. I didn’t think anyone was watching! But I’ve loved the whole experience. These pictures were all taken before my eighteenth birthday and I think it’s pretty cool that I’ll always have this book to look back at, to remind me of all the good times when I was growing up,” the young Beckham said in his introduction for the Rizzoli book.
3. Like his dad, Brooklyn is also a football player.
4. He is also an expert skater.
Though not a movie star by any means, Brooklyn was met with shrieks and adulation by his Filipino fans, part of his 10-million strong Instagram followers. His jam-packed schedule would have taken a toll on other people but he is a trained football athlete and an expert skater.
5. Brooklyn was in Manila to meet Filipino fans.
He was in Manila to promote his book and as the newest global “BenchSetter,” following Riverdale star Cole Sprouse and the so-called “perfect human” Pietro Bosselli.
Brooklyn signed books, engaged with fans and took selfies at SM MegaMall, Mall of Asia and to open the Bench flagship at Bonifacio Global City in Taguig City.
At the Bench flagship store, even local starlets who are also brand ambassadors were taken by his charm and easy demeanor. Brooklyn accommodated everyone who wanted to take photos with him.
“What a day! I can’t believe the welcome I’ve had here in Manila,” he gushed on his IG. “Thank you to @benchtm for having me and thank you to everyone that supported me!”
