But David Beckham’s eldest son, Brooklyn, wasn’t so impressed when he took to Instagram to delight in having reached 1 million followers on the social network.
Reached 1 million followers on my mums birthday. Thank u guys so much #ismydadcoolerthanme
Technically, David doesn’t have any followers on Instagram, since it’s not a platform he makes use of. Wife Victoria, Brooklyn’s mum, has just shy of 4 million followers on the photo sharing site.
No doubt Brooklyn’s follow count will continue to rise, perhaps now in sympathy off the back of his old man completely owning him online. You see this is not the first time he's "bombed" Brooklyn on Instagram.
But the family bond remains strong, and no doubt always will.
