The 38-year-old has already appeared in several campaigns for H&M, and his and Victoria Beckham's oldest son seems to be following in his footsteps. The 15-year-old Brooklyn Beckham will make his first appearance as a model on the cover of Man About Town's Spring/Summer issue, and also plays soccer.
