Kaleb Cooper once accidentally snubbed David Beckham by not recognizing him.
The TV star, 26, found fame through Clarkson’s Farm, but admitted that because he is usually so absorbed in his farming, it always takes him by surprise when global celebrities recognize him.
During an appearance on Capital Breakfast with Jordan North, Chris Stark and Sian Welby on Wednesday, he said: “I didn’t really watch a lot of TV or, you know, get on Instagram too much.”
‘So I don’t really understand or know any of these celebrities when they come up to me and say, “Oh, hi Kaleb, can I have a photo?” etc.
“Someone said, for example, David Beckham, you know, like…”
Kaleb Cooper once accidentally snubbed David Beckham, he revealed during an interview on Capital Breakfast with Jordan North, Chris Stark and Sian Welby on Wednesday.
Kaleb found fame through Clarkson’s Farm, but is so absorbed in farming that he doesn’t know much about world celebrities and therefore missed David Beckham (David pictured in 2024).
This Morning Star Sian couldn’t believe she didn’t recognize world-renowned football star David, 49, and stepped in to check.
Kaleb confirmed, “No, I recognized him after about 15 minutes.”
The former Manchester United player is also known for his marriage to Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, and both have tens of millions of followers on Instagram.
He had visited the famous Diddly Squat farm, which is owned and operated by his famous friend Jeremy Clarkson and is the subject of the hit Amazon Prime series.
But still, when Jeremy asked Kaleb to come meet the sports legend, he simply responded, “Who?”
Kaleb added: ‘Yes. He was at the farm, I passed by and he was there. And Jeremy said, “Come see David.” And I was like, “David who?” And David Beckham.’
David posed alongside Gerald Cooper, who works on Jeremy’s farm and has become a fan favorite of the show.
Jokingly, Jeremy captioned the photo: ‘Gerald. And another man.

Kaleb found fame thanks to teaming up with the former Top Gear star for the hit docuseries, but insisted that for him “making it” means buying his own farm.
Kaleb told the Telegraph: ‘I think I’ll feel like I’ve made it when I buy a farm.
“At that time, I can relax a little bit and spend a little more time with the family.”
He explained, however, that “right now everything is through the roof” and he is doing everything possible not to move away from the place he “loves most.”
Listen to Capital Breakfast with Jordan North, Chris Stark and Sian Welby Monday to Friday from 6:00am to 10:00am across the UK on air and on Global Player, the official Capital app.
Despite his newfound fame, Kaleb recently said he still sees his future in farming, but has wondered if there is a future in farming for him (pictured at Clarkson’s Farm).
