Cruz Beckham Shades Dad in Prada Briefs During Saint-Tropez Yacht Day
Jaden Patel here, delivering the highlights with a side of eye rolls. Let’s all take a moment to pretend we’re shocked by another generation gap played out against a luxury yacht backdrop.
In Saint-Tropez this Tuesday, Cruz Beckham recreated a moment last seen in Positano, Italy, when his dad David famously posed in designer swimwear. But instead of the senior athlete’s trademark smolder, the 20-year-old opted for a comedic wide-armed stance in crisp white Prada briefs. Photographs obtained by TMZ show Cruz sprawled on the sundeck, legs splayed, arms reaching for applause he knew he would not receive from pop-up paparazzi or his Instagram followers.
Cruz spent the afternoon lounging alongside his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, who appeared to judge his attempt with a raised eyebrow and a half-smile. While the two enjoyed sunbathing, a cold breeze of family drama lingered. Just days before, Cruz took aim at his older brother Brooklyn and sister-in-law Nicola Peltz through a series of now-deleted Instagram Notes. According to TMZ, Cruz’s jabs followed a plea from Brooklyn and Nicola asking the Beckhams to ease up on media salvos.
The family friction provides unexpected relief for Cruz, who joked that mocking his dad’s iconic look is cheaper than therapy. He clearly has studied David’s 2024 Positano shot—complete with artfully tousled hair and arched eyebrows—but even Prada’s reputation could not save Cruz’s parody from falling flat against the original’s sun-kissed charisma.
David Beckham has not publicly responded to his youngest son’s runway parody, and for now the elder Beckham seems content to sunbathe in relative silence—at least when he’s not coaching Inter Miami or shooting campaigns. Meanwhile, Cruz may have stumbled onto a new social media niche: family roasts from the high seas. His post quickly racked up likes and comments, with fans debating which speedo moment reigns supreme.
Back on land, the broader Beckham clan watches with popcorn in hand. With Brooklyn and Nicola reportedly urging a media ceasefire, Cruz’s unexpected speedo performance has only added fuel to the rumor mill. Will the brothers call a truce, or will Prada briefs become the next front in their public feud? Stay tuned.
Well, there you have it. Humanity at its finest, one speedo parody at a time.
