Overview
- Beckham, who spoke at the Tribeca Film Festival on Thursday, said he can “come across as annoying sometimes” because he routinely pitches late-night ideas to Cloud23’s CEO.
- He told the audience that the idea for Cloud23 began when he and his wife, Nicola Peltz, drunkenly made hot sauce at home and then kept refining the recipe.
- Beckham described an obsessive creative process, saying he calls the company on Sundays at 10 p.m. with spontaneous condiment or direction ideas.
- He also said he “hasn’t worked in five years,” framing that period as time devoted to building Cloud23 rather than traditional jobs.
- The remarks land against a public split with his parents after a January statement severing ties, and they feed ongoing debate over his shifting careers and use of the Beckham family name.
