Cruz Beckham comes for Brooklyn’s career with ‘passive-aggressive’ cooking video

Cruz Beckham appears to have made another subtle dig at older brother Brooklyn’s career, leaving fans in stitches.

This isn’t the first time the 21-year-old has mocked Brooklyn, 27, for his ever-changing job titles.

Previously, at the height of rumours of a family feud, musician Cruz responded to a TikTok comment asking: ‘Are you going to stick with this job or going to become a race car driver next or something?’

Throwing some serious shade in former aspiring footballer/model/photographer Brooklyn’s direction, Cruz replied: ‘Wrong brother mate’.

But now, he’s taken things up a notch by creating his own cooking content.

‘wanna see the best cooking video ever ?👌 don’t watch this then’, he quipped in his TikTok caption as he shared a montage of clips from making a ‘cheesy potato soup’.

With Dolce Nonna playing in the background, the youngest Beckham boy chopped up his ingredients and combined them to make the dish, serving the soup in a bowl with seasoning.

Joking that, ‘as gross as it looks, it’s actually decent’, Cruz flashed the camera a thumbs up after the meal was ready to eat

Naturally, it didn’t take long for people to sense a hidden motive behind his social media content.

‘This is so passive aggressive. I love it!!’, commented @suzanneevans76.

‘Cruz could you do a video of your photography as well please’, mocked @jayjayoasis, while @j.h9045 declared: ‘Cruz takes on Brooklyn and wins 💯’

@jnwood12 called him ‘probably the best Beckham child to cook’, and @sarahmeredith1804 said: ‘Now this is the level of pettiness I can really appreciate 😁’

‘Brooklyn currently trying to learn guitar as retaliation 😬🙈’, joked @liannegarner.

Cruz’s apparent dig comes after he actually expressed his hopes of patching things up with his big bro.

Despite Brooklyn insisting he has no desire to reconcile with his family, having accused his parents of ‘controlling’ him and ‘disrespecting’ wife Nicola Peltz, 31, Cruz still wished him a happy birthday earlier this month.

Stepping out in Paris, France, with his girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, 30, Cruz was asked by a TMZ videographer: ‘Any well wishes to your brother? It’s his birthday,’ to which he replied, ‘Happy birthday,’ with a smile.

Cruz dipped his head and stayed silent when asked if he’d had any contact with Brooklyn lately, before the reporter probed: ‘Any chance you guys will repair the relationship? Are you hopeful for that?’

‘Hopefully,’ Cruz said back, wishing the journalist a ‘lovely day’ before walking away.

He had already posted a throwback snap to his Instagram Story that day for Brooklyn’s special occasion, writing ‘I love you’ alongside it; his parents, David and Victoria, did the same, as did middle brother Romeo, 23.

Brooklyn did not respond publicly, however, nor did he wish Cruz a happy 21st in February.

Instead, he celebrated his 27th in the US with Nicola, who penned an affectionate caption for her husband, whom she wed in 2022 and renewed her vows with last year.

The Lola actress wrote alongside a video of him blowing out his candles: ‘happy birthday baby 🎂 i hope all your dreams and wishes come true! you light up every room you walk into and anyone who knows you loves you 🥹 you’re the most special human and i love being your wife. i love you i love you i love you’.

‘My baby girl xxx’, Brooklyn commented underneath.

It’s been claimed he and Nicola felt ‘disheartened’ upon seeing his family’s birthday tributes, with an insider telling ET: ‘These are the exact type of performative public actions that Brooklyn has been trying to put an end to, to no avail.

‘Last summer, they issued a legal letter to his parents requesting that any correspondence go through lawyers.’

Indeed, he previously called his family out for so-called ‘inauthentic relationships’ when he issued a scathing takedown of ‘Brand Beckham’ via a shocking statement in January.

Neither David nor Victoria has issued a full response to Brooklyn’s claims, but instead have kept up appearances with joint family outings to events and sweet online posts.

And despite the drama and being blocked by Brooklyn, sources have claimed they would still take him back ‘in a minute’ as they don’t want to ‘lose’ their son.
