Is Brooklyn Beckham fooling us all?

Brooklyn Beckham, the eldest son of David and Victoria, has launched a new television show Cookin’ with Brooklyn which allegedly took £70,000 and a team of 62 professionals to create.

The result is an 8-minute episode that produced a fish-finger sandwich. Brooklyn oversees an assembly of chefs preparing the ingredients, he looks into the camera, totally deadpan and informs his audience, ‘With sandwiches you can go so many different ways. It really does help to be creative’.

Is this show the epitome of everything that’s wrong with our society, as some have claimed?

Brooklyn Beckham is rich. He is the amusing celebrity-child kind of rich. The sort that spends winters skiing in Whistler and Spring bobbing around the Caribbean on a super-yacht with his godfather Elton John. The kind that falls in love with an heiress to a billion dollar fortune and spends £9 million on his ‘starter home’ in Beverly Hills.

It was inevitable that the time would come when Brooklyn would have to venture out into the big bad world and make his own way.
