What is the Beckham Test? David & Victoria TikTok Trend Explained

The David Beckham Test, also referred to as the Beckham Test, has resurfaced on TikTok as people around the globe use it to assess the dancing abilities of their significant others. This viral trend originated from an interaction between David and Victoria Beckham.

The worldwide premiere of Netflix’s documentary Beckham took place in October 2023. The film features the legendary soccer player David Beckham, who shares the remarkable story of his career and his marriage to Spice Girl alumna Victoria Beckham.

In a touching moment from the show, the couple, who got married in 1999, can be seen dancing in the kitchen of their $14.5 million countryside home in the Cotswolds, England. The song “Islands in the Stream”by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers plays in the background as Victoria silently invites her husband to join her, and he does so without any hesitation.
