Burberry accused of ‘nepotism’ for hiring 16-year-old Brooklyn Beckham

On Saturday the 16-year-old was out on the streets of London shooting for the brand’s new This Is Brit fragrance campaign.

Burberry campaigns are usually photographed by Mario Testino, but their latest Burberry Brit fragrance ad will be shot by a teenager.

David and Victoria Beckham’s eldest son Brooklyn made the announcement on his Twitter and Instagram accounts.

Of course, it’s not the first time that the luxe British fashion have teamed up with the Beckham family. Brooklyn shared a black-and-white picture of himself (holding a camera, obv), sharing the big, but not entirely surprising news.

He told Miss Vogue: “I’m hoping to study art and photography in the USA, once I have finished my A Levels”.

“He may be 16 but growing up in a house where his parents are influential in their fields has earned him a head on his shoulders far beyond his years”. That is one of his passions. They have an ongoing relationship with Brooklyn’s younger brother Romeo, who has starred in a series of adverts for the brand ever since making his modelling debut in 2012.

‘I have always said to my children, as long as they have a passion for something, we will encourage it’.

In November, dad David admitted he wouldn’t mind if Brooklyn passed on a possible football career to make it as a photographer.
