Romeo Beckham took the time to humble his father, David Beckham, in a hilarious gym snap that showcased the close bond between the two.
The 22-year-old took to Instagram to lovingly tease David following his Men’s Health UK photoshoot that saw the football star shirtless in the gym with just a pair of sweatpants and white sneakers on. In the photo, he had his arms lifted to showcase his toned figure.
His second eldest recreated the photo, complete with a shirtless figure and a splayed pose. A friend held up the original photo of David next to him to draw a comparison. “Nice dad @ davidbeckham,” Romeo wrote alongside the snap.
David seemed to love the joke and reshared his son’s picture on his Instagram story. The pair looked so alike, with Romeo’s patchwork of tattoos making their resemblance even stronger.
This hilarious gesture comes as the father of four revealed how “painful” it was to see his kids move out and grow up.
“We’re not quite there yet but it’s actually painful. We’ve gone from having four in the house to one,” he shared with Men’s Health UK. “What I would give to have that back and be able to walk in, moaning to them about it [wet towels on bedroom floors]!”

Despite Harper being the only child still living at home, David shared that he always looks for the opportunity to have quality time with them.
“My boys are pretty good. They’ll always ask me to the pub when they go with their mates,” he told the publication.
He also loves to take them skiing and snowboarding for one sweet reason. “Me and my boys, we are the first up and we’re the last off the slope,” he shared.
“It’s the best part, having those chats on the lifts or in the gondolas. You get into them. The kids can’t go on their phones, they’re just sat there and we’re all chatting – it’s amazing.”
While Romeo has moved out of home and is pursuing a career in modeling, he shares a tight bond with his family, and in particular, with his sister.

It read: “Dear Romeo, I hope you have so much fun in Holland, I will miss you and your football.”
“Well done, I am so happy and thankful that you’re my older brother, I am the luckiest person EVER. I love you with all my heart. Love = favourite child AKA = Harper,” she added.

Romeo left his budding football career to pursue modeling in 2024 after playing for Brentford FC.
He hit the runway for Balenciaga during Paris Fashion Week and has worked with Burberry and Yves Saint Laurent in the past.
