At the end of a long and illustrious career, Beckham announced his retirement from the world of professional football in 2013.

Following his retirement, David Beckham went on to become a successful businessman with his media, sports, and fashion empire. Here's everything that we know.

David Beckham writes about the origins of his eponymous documentary

Before the October 2023 release of the documentary, the former footballer wrote a guest column on The Hollywood Reporter in which he opened up about the genesis of the documentary and the highs and lows of his career. Speaking about the beginning of the process of working with Director Fisher Stevens of the documentary, Beckham wrote:

"The moment I met director Fisher Stevens, I knew he was the right person to tell my story. He didn’t just want to talk about football or being married to a Spice Girl — he came with a different perspective and looked at my life through a wider lens. I could tell from our early conversations that he wanted to delve beneath the surface and understand me on a deeper, human level."

While referring to the impact of the documentary on his life, he revealed:

"I wouldn’t say that making this documentary gave me closure because I still feel pain from those moments. But it did allow me to forgive myself and let go of some of that guilt. After the premiere, my mum pulled me aside and reassured me, “You don’t need to feel bad anymore.” Those words make me feel emotional to this day."

The Beckham documentary is available on Netflix.
