David Beckham has expressed his disbelief at winning an Emmy for his Netflix documentary series after it was nominated in five separate categories.
The former footballer, 49, and his wife Victoria, 50, have been nominated for the 2023 Netflix documentary Beckham: What Makes David Run.
On Saturday at the Creative Arts Emmys in Los Angeles, the docuseries triumphed in the documentary or nonfiction series category.

In the caption she wrote: “We’re back safely in the office. I still can’t believe we won an EMMY.”
Another snap posted to David’s Instagram Story showed the star holding the award again, this time alongside a cabinet of photographs in his office, which featured sweet images of him and Victoria, alongside his children’s school photos.
She then proudly wrote “We did it,” along with three heart emojis, as she posted a photo with her Studio 99 co-founders Nicola Howson and David Gardner, who she worked with on the documentary.
The Emmy award was collected by producer Fisher Stevens, who called the footballer during the celebration to tell him of his success.
In a clip shared on Instagram from the Emmys, a group surrounded Fisher as he video-called David to tell him about the win.
“It’s okay, David,” the actor and producer shouted as he broke the news.
“Amazing,” David replied as the camera panned to show the screen, to which Fisher said, “We miss you bro, we miss you.”
David shared his disappointment at not being present, as he promised he and Fisher would celebrate in a few weeks.
