A soccer legend cheering from the stands at the FIFA World Cup while his son tries to score from home.
Brooklyn Beckham, David's son, seen in this new DoorDash ad on social media promoting the World Cup while he seems to be steering clear of this year's games.
>> You're probably wondering why I'm watching the FIFA World Cup 2026 from home.
It's a long story.
>> That long story, a clear shot at his dad, a two-time World Cup quarterfinalist, alluding to plenty of family drama off the field, teasing more to come.
It all comes after Brooklyn publicly cut ties with his family in a series of Instagram posts earlier this year where he accused his father and mother, former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, of controlling him for years and trying to ruin his relationship with his wife, Nicola Peltz.
In one post, he says, "Quote, I do not want to reconcile with my family."
Adding that all he wants is peace, privacy, and happiness for him and his wife, but that new life out of the the a commercial during the world's biggest sporting event, drawing tons of backlash on social media as people online point out he's still profiting off his family name even as he tries to distance himself from the Beckham brand.
>> You are the definition of biting the hand that feeds you.
>> Well, you've got nothing to do with football, mate, except for your dad.
>> DoorDash didn't comment on the ad directly, telling us in part, "Our content reflects the fun and frenzy that only this tournament can bring."
Brooklyn Beckham did not respond to our request for comment, neither did representatives for David and Victoria Beckham.
But the two aren't shying away from the spotlight, watching the US-Paraguay game in Los Angeles last week alongside superstar Tom Cruise and showing a united front with their three other children on the Hollywood Walk of Fame where David Beckham just got a star.
>> I'm going to get emotional now.
Kids, I hope you bring my grandchildren here one day and tell them about a boy who dreamed big.
To make you all proud is my greatest achievement.
>> Brooklyn notably not there as his mother poked fun at herself in her speech.
>> I assumed I was coming here today to receive my star for my part in that iconic cult classic Spice World the movie. >> [cheering] >> Trying to keep the Beckham family image intact during the spicy family feud while their son fires from the sidelines.
