He’s always in the studio practising, looking for the next best opportunity and he really does have a passion for music,” said a Beckham pal. “He might not end up a global star but he’s going to go really far.” The source added: “Cruz is set on pursuing his music and has no intention of flitting between career paths and treating them as hobbies unlike some. “While they’re both nepo-babies Cruz is putting Brooklyn to shame as he coasts by – at least Cruz is actually grafting.” Most read in TV Cruz announced earlier this year that he’ll be officially launching his career with an EP titled ‘Wear & Tear,’ which is scheduled for release on August 21. The Brit-pop and indie rock band have already dropped a few singles including ‘Optics’ and ‘Waste Your Pain.’ Meanwhile, Brooklyn, 27, has recently been pursuing a social media career alongside his sauce business, which launched in 2024. He came under fire just weeks ago after appearing in a big money TV advert to promote DoorDash – a food delivery service. In the ad, he says to the camera: “You’re probably wondering why I’m watching the FIFA World Cup 2026 from home…” Smirking Brooklyn then laughs: “It’s a long story.” Sources close to David and Victoria said they were left shocked over the ‘attack’ ad. The source said: “To do an ad based on estrangement from family as if it’s a joke when his family is devastated and sister and grandparents are inconsolable… “It just seems a tad hypocritical from someone claiming to want peace and privacy and then trying to cash in on it all.” Comment now
