David Beckham has revealed what inspired him to film his tell-all documentary, BECKHAM, as he dubbed it a 'love letter' to football and his family.

Football legend David is married to former Spice Girl Victoria and they share four children - Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 21, Cruz, 19, and Harper, 12.
The four-part series saw the Beckhams' give an intimate insight into their marriage and early romance, their family life, as well as charting David's footballing career.
Speaking on Good Morning America, he said he wanted to combine all those aspects, package it together and gift it to his sport and family as a 'love letter'.

The former Manchester United midfielder, 47, said there was only really one reason why he wanted to give the world an insight into current home life
He told show hosts Robin Roberts, Michael Strahan, Lara Spencer and George Stephanopoulos: 'The only reason I did it was because it was kind of a love letter to my career and the sport and also, more importantly, my family.
'My family have been such an incredible support system throughout my whole life and my whole career.
'To have all that archive and all that footage in one place, literally I could go, ''there you go'' and that really was the only reason to do it.'
'I think we were all nervous going into it because we are... even though we have been pictured all over the world, and people know, most places, who we are, to let people into our home... But I also said that if I am going to do this, I am going to do it right and I am only going to do it once so everyone got on board,' he added.
BECKHAM premiered in October 2023, and while chatting on GMA, David revealed that it wasn't until then that his youngest son, Cruz, realised just how good his father was at football.
Speaking live in Times Square on the show, he said: 'But one funny thing was, we watched the premiere and as we are driving back to the house, my youngest son Cruz turns round to me and says ''Dad you were really good, I didn't know.'''
David also revealed that he when he first retired from football, he was not ready to do to an documentary but after ten years had passed he thought it was the right time.
His documentary amassed a record breaking 3.8million viewers during its premiere week.

According to the Broadcasters Audience Research Board (BARB), the first episode saw 3,813,100 fans tune in.The second instalment was also a success reaching 2,868,800 viewers by the week ending October 8.
BECKHAM was the streaming service's topped watched show for two weeks when it was released, with 11,600,000 fans watching globally, according to Netflix's own data.
It follows Posh and Becks in their personal and professional lives, going through their history together with interviews of the couple.
The footballer told of his struggles with his mental health after becoming public enemy No 1 following his infamous red card upset during the 1998 World Cup, with abuse being levelled at him and his family including angry fans throwing their TVs out of windows and an effigy of him being hung outside a pub.

Almost 20 years after it was claimed he and the personal assistant had become close while he was playing in Spain for Real Madrid, Victoria revealed that the months afterwards were the 'hardest' of her life and that she no longer felt like the couple 'had each other'.
Meanwhile, David admitted he still doesn't know how they got through the 2003 crisis but he and his former Spice Girl wife knew they had to 'fight for their family', and said they felt like they were 'drowning' when their high-profile marriage was in the headlines for months.
The former England captain also told how he 'felt physically sick every day' as he and Victoria faced a battle to save their marriage.
In a searingly honest interview in the fourth and final episode, Victoria appeared to fight back tears as she was asked if it was the hardest time in their marriage. '100 per cent,' she confessed. 'It was the hardest period for us. Because it felt like the world was against us.

'Here's the thing, we were against each other, if I'm being completely honest. Up until Madrid sometimes it felt like us against everybody else but we were together, we were connected, we had each other. But when we were in Spain, it didn't really feel like we had each other either. And that's sad. I can't even begin to tell you how hard it was. And how it affected me.'
David stunned the world when his alleged relationship with Rebecca was revealed in the now defunct News Of The World newspaper. At the time Victoria had decided to remain in the UK so that her young sons Brooklyn and Romeo could stay in their schools. The decision left David lonely, and he admits that he struggled.
He said: 'When I first moved to Spain it was difficult because I had been part of a club and a family for my whole career, from the age of 15 to when I was 27. I get sold overnight, the next minute I'm in a city, I don't speak the language. More importantly, I didn't have my family.
'Every time that we woke up we felt there was something else... we both felt at the time that we were not losing each other but drowning.'
