BROOKLYN SNAPS UP A MOVIE ROLE

Becks’ boy is photograph­er on fiancée’s film set

- By Halina Watts SHOWBIZ EDITOR

SMITTEN Brooklyn Beckham just keeps on clicking with actress fiancée Nicola Peltz.

The 22-year-old model has proved he’s a dab hand behind the camera as well as in front of it – and he is now on photograph­y duty on the set of his love’s latest film.

Despite independen­t movies struggling to secure financing amid the pandemic, Nicola has landed a multi-million deal to write, co-direct and star in the flick Lola James.

Production is already under way in LA – and the project could make her a big player in Hollywood.

A source said: “Brooklyn and Nicola are a very creative couple and Brooklyn has a way with capturing moments in images.

“Nicola is going to have a lot on and he is believed to be working to document this new adventure.”

The film is about a brother and sister facing a drugs crisis and also stars Virginia Madsen, 59, who was nominated for an Oscar in 2004 hit Sideways. The Florida Project star Bria Vinaite, 27, will co-direct.

Triumph

But the grim plot is a far cry from the background­s of Brookyn, who is Posh and Becks’ eldest son, and Nicola, who is the daughter of US billionair­e Nelson Peltz and his third wife, former model Claudia Heffner.

Brooklyn wants to make his name as a snapper and studied at Parsons School of Design in New York.

Meanwhile, Nicola, 26, got her big break opposite Mark Wahlberg in 2014 blockbuste­r Transforme­rs: Age of Extinction and also played Bradley Martin in A&E’S hit drama series Bates Motel.

An LA film source said: “For Nicola to be rewarded with a film deal as a writer, director and lead actress is a major triumph.

“Indie and small-budget cinema has suffered hugely due to the pandemic and it has never been tougher to get smaller films made. This gives her the chance to become a major force in Hollywood.”

Brooklyn and Nicola have been inseparabl­e since revealing their engagement in July 2020, detailing their every move on Instagram.

On Thursday, Nicola shared a pic of gold necklaces she had made from their WISDOM TEETH.

And earlier, Brooklyn shared a topless bathroom selfie of them on his Instagram Story. He wrapped his arm behind her while she held a piece of fabric over her chest in the image, which he captioned: “My safe place x, love you baby.”
