David Beckham Responds To Victoria’s Viral World Cup Reactions

Sir David Beckham has responded to one comedian’s send-up of his wife Victoria’s less-than-animated reactions to watching the England football team playing over the weekend.

On Saturday night, Sir David and Victoria were joined by their youngest three children, Romeo, Cruz and Harper Beckham to see England’s latest World Cup game, where the squad triumphed over Norway.

While the rest of the Beckhams couldn’t hide their joy at England’s success, it’s fair to say that, true to form, the former Spice Girls star’s reactions were a touch more muted.

“I wanted to take a moment to single out England’s number one fan Victoria, Lady Beckham!!!!” the comedian Jenny Johnson wrote on Instagram the following day.

“There’s nothing like cheering your heart out for England from home, then they cut to Victoria and we see that classic Posh Spice smile! It’s so infectious!”

Jenny quipped: “I used to think I got animated while watching sports, but Victoria blows my enthusiasm out of the water! Each time I see her I shout, ‘SPICE UP YOUR LIFE!!!!’ because her energy is electric!!!”

“See for yourself!” she added, alongside a series of stoic-looking pictures of Victoria.

Within just a couple of hours, Sir David had popped up in the comments, joking: “She was celebrating inside I promise. Her reactions were slightly slower than mine.”

Back in 2019, Victoria claimed that “not smiling publicly” was a type of “armour” that she hid behind, an idea she elaborated on in her self-titled Netflix documentary last year.

“I’ve looked miserable for all these years because when we stand on the red carpet, this guy has always gone on the left,” she told viewers, referring to her famous husband.

“Now I didn’t realise that when I smile – which I do! – I smile from the left, because if I smile from the right, I look unwell. So, consequently I’m smiling on the inside – but no one ever sees it. So, that’s why I look so moody.”
