Brooklyn Beckham Sparks Internet Debate After Boiling Pasta With Sea Water: ‘Hint of Burnt Fuel’

Brooklyn Beckham has divided the internet after sharing a video of himself boiling pasta in water taken straight from the sea.

“Today, I’m going to make some tomato pasta. Of course, we get some pasta water,” Brooklyn, 27, said in a TikTok video that was originally posted in July 2025 and reposted on Thursday, August 6. The eldest son of David Beckham and Victoria Beckham is then seen dunking a saucepan into the water off a luxury boat before hitting a kitchen to start prepping his dish.

“Pasta water with a hint of burnt boat fuel please sir,” commented one fan on the repost, while another wrote, “Tune in next time when I make a glass of water (with ice).”

For others, Brooklyn’s unusual cooking method wasn’t all that unorthodox. “What’s with all the hate?” commented one fan, while another wrote, “I think he is sweet !! And he has a passion for cooking which is clear.” One social media user even argued that Brooklyn’s dish looked appetizing. “Basic HOWEVER looks tasty to be fair,” the fan wrote.

When the budding chef, who often posts videos of himself cooking via his social media channels, originally posted the clip, it similarly attracted mixed reviews. While some warned him against using sea water due to the risk of consuming bacteria, others wrote about how his creation looked good. “Nice one, Brooks,” one fan commented at the time.

Brooklyn’s at-sea report comes after he recently reconnected with his godfathers, Elton John and David Furnish, amid his ongoing feud with David, 51, and Victoria, 52. On August 1, Brooklyn and wife, Nicola Peltz, were snapped vacationing with John, 79, and his husband, 63, on a yacht near France’s Nice. The photos were published by People at the time.

In the snaps, the couples were seen sitting at a table together and leaving the vessel to take in the local sights.

Meanwhile, Brooklyn’s parents and siblings were vacationing elsewhere. Per photos published by The Sun, the retired footballer and fashion designer were joined by sons Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 21, as well as daughter Harper, 15, as they journeyed in their own luxury boat through Spain. The family was also joined by Romeo’s girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, as they explored the small Spanish island of Formentera.

Brooklyn and Nicola, 31, are at odds with his parents and siblings, with Brooklyn shining a light on their tension through a scathing Instagram statement shared in January. “I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private,” Brooklyn wrote via several Instagram Stories at the time. “Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.”

The post continued, “I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.”

David and Victoria have not publicly commented directly on their son’s accusations.
