I would be interested to know what he has achieved on his own. Has he worked to pay for a house, car, clothes etc., or simply had these things given to him.

This is a very lighthearted thread, with a sad undertone.
Just read a piece from Sunday Times, written by a journalist who interviewed Brooklyn.
It was after his marriage, but before he decimated his family, aimed at both his parents, online.
The article shows Brooklyn loving his parents, adoring his wife, and living his best life.
Yet, is he? He doesn’t appear to have any inclination to take paid work seriously, despite lots of encouragement and support from both his parents.
Though I don’t think I’d had thrust my children into the limelight in the way Victoria and David have done, there’s no question that they have been loving and supportive parents, have a strong work ethic and family is important to them. David in particular does plenty of charity work and Victoria sometimes smiles in public. 
Why then have Brooklyn and his wife Nicola become so hostile towards the Beckhams, and more importantly why are they playing this out so publicly?
Is this just a case of two horribly spoilt and over indulged, entitled young people or are David and Victoria terrible people and parents?
For me, I think it’s the former!
Anyone else think the same?

I'm not sure that most people are independent by their 20s these days. House prices, student loans, the cost of living all make that much more difficult than it was even 20 years ago.
I think that children raise with such wealth must struggle to know where to put their energies. All going well they won't 'have to' make a living doing anything they don't really want to. Their parents will have contacts who are very different from those of most people, so they will be able to try things denied to most young people. At the same time, though, there is huge resentment of 'nepotism babies' and an expectation that they have to show their talent much earlier than someone in a lowlier field would be expected to do. It's tricky.
Anyway, much as I don't like people making the personal public, I think BB probably had a difficult childhood (luxurious, no doubt, but difficult all the same), and I don't blame anyone for resenting the constant photoshoots and magazine spreads, documentaries and so on.
I roll my eyes when people I know post numerous 'star of the week'-type pictures of their children/grandchildren, though, so I'm maybe not the most tolerant of this sort of thing . I just think people should be able to live their lives in their own way without it being on display, and that includes children.

Is the video of the 'dancing on him' available to view? No idea what it actually means.
It's rather a strange description, it conjures up visions of him lying flat on the dance floor whilst his mother tramples all over him in a pair of her vertiginous heels.

Thats a good example, very petulant, despite dressing down in denim he is not an ordinary person, his parents are very wealthy. He has to accept that, he hasnt yet found a role in life, we see this all the time in aristocratic and celebrity families.
Married to actress Nicola from a wealthy jewish family Brooklyn doesnt have too many choices, he follows her in that celebrity society as long as the marriage lasts. I hope it does last but many dont in that jetset world.
