Brooklyn Beckham says he’s NOT a chef as he hits back at trolls calling him ‘stupid’

Brooklyn Beckham has attracted plenty of viewers to his cooking videos on social media.

But the 23-year-old has now admitted that he isn’t a professional chef in a new Q&A on his Instagram Stories, despite his efforts to appear expertly skilled in the kitchen to fans.

After a follower asked him if he is indeed a professional cook, Beckham responded: “Nope x but food is my passion”.

He gave his answer as he posted a couple of photos on Instagram on Wednesday of himself whipping up yet another dish in the kitchen, while his puppy Lamb was attached to him in a sling.

“Daddy day care,” Beckham captioned.

While some fans praised the cute snaps, others were quick fill up the comments in response as they criticised Beckham for carrying his pooch while cooking.

The trolling didn’t stop there, as Beckham shared a nasty question he was sent during his Q&A session on Instagram Stories also.

Someone had asked Beckham: “Why are you so stupid?”, to which he responded: “That’s nice, have a great day sir”.

Beckham has received plenty of backlash for his cooking videos in recent months.

Last year, he was slammed for preparing a “raw” pizza, and in January, his version of a “Michelin-style” Sunday roast was reacted to negatively by viewers – with supportive mum Victoria rushing to his defence.

Beckham addressed his critics to Buzzfeed News in February, saying: “I think people are always going to say rubbish, I’ve kind of gotten to that point where I’m going to get it forever and that’s totally fine.

“I’m happy, and working hard, and trying to do good things. I think that’s the most important.”

Speaking on where his passion for cooking will take him next, Beckham added: “At some point I want to open up my own restaurant.

“I want to bring an English pub out to LA. Definitely not this year, but that’s my dream. Just open up a pub.”
