Can’t stop thinking about the Beckhams’ $120k outdoor kitchen? Neither can we. Here’s how to get the look
If you haven’t watched Netflix’s four-part doco about the world’s greatest living footballer (not counting Lionel Messi) and his family yet, you need to get on that quick.
Not because it unflinchingly tells the story of a very ordinary man with extraordinary talent, who somehow managed to keep his head during the worst excesses of late 90s, early 2000s celebrity mania. And not even because of all the beautiful football. But because you need to see the wonder that is David Beckham’s mesmerisingly good outdoor kitchen.
Directed by Fisher Stevens, who you might know as obsequious crisis management goon Hugo Baker from Succession, Beckham closes with a family dinner, prepared by Becks and number one son Brooklyn, a self-styled celebrity chef, in the family’s outdoor kitchen.
See, when he’s not managing Inter Miami in the US, David Beckham lives the life of the archetypal English country gent on his estate in Chipping Norton. Part of that is being able to provide for his family in the style of the Victorian British explorer: in a Safari tent, with vintage-style barbecue equipment, and luxury dinner wear, in the backyard.
”On a Saturday morning I just potter around this place. I love it,” he says as B-roll of him doing exactly that plays. “It’s kind of my escape. I’m in here from 11 till 9 o’clock at night, later sometimes, grilling. It’s what I do. I bring my iPad, watch the football.”
