It Was Only A Matter Of Time: David Beckham’s Son Is Modeling For Burberry Now

Written by Ashley Burns / 12.17.12

"Raise your hands if you'll never have to work a day in your life!"

If you’re unfamiliar with David and Posh Spice Victoria Beckham’s sons, Romeo and Cruz, they’re basically two of the luckiest kids on the planet, because their father is David Beckham, one of the most iconic soccer players of his generation, and Victoria Beckham, who somehow managed to escape a life as Posh Spice of the 1990s assault on music known as the Spice Girls. Seriously, she should be performing concerts for easy listening radio stations at local fairs right now. Instead, she’s a world famous fashion designer and model, and coupled with her husband’s fame and hundreds of millions of dollars, her kids will never have to work a second in their lives.

That is, if you don’t count careers in modeling, acting, professional sports or music as “work”, and you shouldn’t, because for kids like Romeo and Cruz, those are actually just hobbies. Basically, they’re like Will Smith’s wiener kids, but they haven’t tortured us with albums or ruining any classic 80s movies yet. But give them time. They will eventually.

As for now, Romeo Beckham is taking his first step to fame as the new youthful face of Burberry’s kids’ line, which I assume is nothing but $6,000 jackets and scarves. Via GQ, Romeo’s first print ad has been released, as well as a video breaking down his first shoot as a person who gets paid to wear clothes.

Great Moments In Professional Athletes Procreating: Paulina Gretzky

Written by Ashley Burns / 10.17.11

I’ve failed to come through on the topic that matters above all else – hot daughters of professional athletes and coaches. I know, I deserve your scorn and the shame that comes with it. Hopefully in time you’ll find it in your hearts to forgive me.

As for right now, I want to start making it up to all of you. Thankfully, in my morning reading, my buddy Chris pointed out a delightful post over at Boston Bar Stool about Wayne Gretzky’s daughter, Paulina. I’ve never been one to use hyperbole, but she may be the greatest offspring of a professional/collegiate athlete/coach ever. For instance, Tony LaRussa’s daughter, Bianca, is here…

*holds hand above head*

And Paulina Gretzky is here…

*stands on chair, punches hole in ceiling, climbs through hole, holds hand above head*

Again, I’m a St. Louis Cardinals fan and Tony LaRussa is one of my favorite people on Earth, so obviously his daughter could look like that lady from “Two and a Half Men” and I’d still be like, “OK let’s do this.” That should speak volumes about my opinion of Paulina.

So I tip my cap to you, Great One. Way to slip that puck by.
