David Beckham has detailed the surprising new project he is embarking on with wife Victoria Beckham after having huge success with his Netflix documentary last year.
The England football legend, 49, revealed he has convinced the fashion mogul, 50, to also create a documentary series looking back at her 30 year career.
David admitted ‘it wasn’t the easiest thing to get her to agree to’ but gushed that the Spice Girl is ‘unbelievably hard working and very clever’ and the world deserves to see that.
Speaking on Today to hosts Savannah Guthrie and Craig Melvin, David opened up for the first time about the new Netflix show.
He said: ‘It wasn’t the easiest thing to get her to agree to, but in my opinion she was the star of mine.
‘So I just thought this is the opportunity, because she’s been working on our brand for the last 18 years, and she’s unbelievably hard working, and no one gets to see that.

Discussing their iconic dance moment to Islands In The Stream in his Emmy award winning documentary, David revealed that it was unplanned and his children were ’embarrᴀssed’.
He added: ‘This moment just happened we were in the tent all day and then all of a sudden I thought, you know, mum and dad should dance, the kids get embarrᴀssed.
‘And this just happened last second, and we just jumped up, and you could see all the kids were embarrᴀssed, but at that point the song meant something to us, and we just danced and it was just us at the end of the day.’
David also revealed that Victoria is currently busy planning his 50th birthday bash, as he told viewers: ‘Victoria is organising it all, it’ll be in London’.
