After toying with the idea of following in dad’s footsteps for the longest period, it looks like Brooklyn has decided his looks, rather than his feet, should be what makes money for him.

The 16 year old, who is waiting for the results of his GCSE exams he recently took, has signed up for a modelling agency. The Mirror also reports that he is set to sign up soon for a Hollywood agent.

Brooklyn Beckham has his sights set on becoming his family’s biggest star yet with a career in Hollywood, the UK tabloid reveals.

David and Victoria’s eldest son has already signed a lucrative deal with a model agency and has so impressed scouts in LA they are tipping him to be the next big thing.

But Brooklyn, 16 – currently awaiting GCSE results while spending the summer in America – is also being encouraged to become an actor.

A source close to the Beckhams said: “He has recently signed to a modelling agency. It appears he has a lot of potential for a career in the industry.

“He is incredibly photogenic and has the handsome looks to be considered for some high-profile, big-money work.

“Now he has been encouraged to look into a Hollywood career which he is very excited about. He is yet to sign with an agent though.”

Wise move, I’d say. He was never going to be out of his father’s shadow as a footballer, and his release from Arsenal shows he was never that good anyway. But a career in showbiz seems right up the Beckham’s alley.
