David Beckham accepted an Emmy award for his Netflix docuseries over video call as producers rang him from the ceremony in LA.
The former footballer, 49, and his wife Victoria, 50, were nominated in a whopping five categories for the 2023 Netflix documentary Beckham: What Makes David Run.
At The Creative Arts Emmys in Los Angeles on Saturday, the docuseries triumphed in the Documentary or Nonfiction Series category.
The award was accepted by producer Fisher Stevens – who was sure to call the footballer during the celebration to let him know of the success.
In a clip shared on the Emmys Instagram, a group crowded around Fisher as he video-called David to tell him of the win.

‘Alright David,’ the actor and producer shouted as he broke the news.
‘Unbelievable,’ David replied as the camera panned to show on screen, to which Fisher said: ‘We miss you brother, we miss you.’

The Spice Girl, 50, will share an insight into her working life after the success of husband David’s docuseries BECKHAM with the streamer.
The beloved mother will delve deep into her fashion brand in the documentary and follow her journey as she prepares for Paris Fashion Week next year.
