What Brooklyn Beckham Blames For Giving Up His Athletic Career

It may not entirely make sense, but the eldest kid of David and Victoria Beckham apparently believes that his zodiac sign has a cosmic connection to his football prowess. Speaking with Bustle, he explained why he turned his back on the sport that he played for years. “I’m a Pisces. Sensitive,” he said. Well, okay, sure!

He reiterated in the same interview that he doesn’t think he will ever be as good as his father — at least in football — so he quit to try his luck in a different field where he can make a mark without the looming shadows of his famous family. “I have a lot of anxiety,” he added. “And to try and live up to what my dad did, it was just like, it got to the point where I was just, like, I really just want to make my own name for myself and work my a**e off.”

Despite being at peace with his move, he admitted he felt a pinch of sadness. After all, he had known soccer ever since he was in diapers, so letting go proved challenging. “My dad wasn’t sad, because he was like, I just want you to be happy,” he told Variety. “But of course I was sad. It was my whole life since I was literally 2.”
