Dad, you’re so embarrassing!
Proud father David Beckham takes pictures of bashful son Brooklyn after teenager’s first day at New York university
Exciting times await for Brooklyn Beckham as he prepares for his first year of academic study in New York City.
And much like any proud father, retired footballer David was evidently keen to document his oldest son’s first official day as a student following his enrollment on a photography course at the prestigious Parson’s School of Design.
The former Manchester United and Real Madrid midfielder, 42, couldn’t resist taking pictures of 18-year old Brooklyn as they familiarised themselves with the school’s Greenwich Village surroundings.
Sporting a canary yellow beanie hat over a casual blue denim shirt and skinny jeans, David was hard to miss during his latest outing with the teenager – who he affectionately refers to as ‘Buster.’ Enjoying a day out with his famous father shortly after his first day at the design school, Brooklyn looked typically casual in a grungy Soundgarden T-shirt that showed off a selection of his recently acquired tattoos.
Brooklyn added to his look with a pair of skinny black jeans, while a retro plaid shirt and Doctor Marten’s boots rounded things off.
Accompanied by a tattooed friend, the pair appeared to be in high spirits as they mingled with pedestrians during their latest appearance in New York. But David was clearly keen to capture every moment of his son’s special day by persistently taking pictures of the bashful teenager as they crossed a bustling street.
Meanwhile a clearly oblivious Brooklyn walked ahead of his father and their male friend, a heavy rucksack casually clung across one shoulder.
Located in Greenwich Village, Parsons Private Art and Design School is one of the most prestigious art schools in the world. But while most students are gearing up for student dorms, it was recently reported that Brooklyn planned to get his own apartment during his university stint. A source told Page Six in July: ‘He’s searching for a space of his own in New York.’
Sharing her elation at her son’s academic success earlier this week, his mother Victoria, 42, posted an emotional photo of her and Brooklyn to Instagram, ahead of his move. Sharing the moment on Instagram, she wrote to fans: ‘We are all so proud of you Brooklyn.
