<\/p>\nThe director of the new David Beckham documentary series says he felt like the Manchester United icon\u2019s therapist during filming. <\/p>\n
Film-maker and actor Fisher Stevens grilled Beckham for a total of 30 hours during 10 separate interviews for the four-part series, which recently dropped on Netflix. The Succession star also spoke to Beckham\u2019s wife Victoria and few topics were off limits. <\/p>\n
Beckham discusses the early days of his relationship with the Spice Girl, the abuse he received following his sending off against Argentina at the 1998 World Cup and his, at times, strained relationship with Sir Alex Ferguson. <\/p>\n

As a result, Fisher got to know the pair well and was surprised to find they didn\u2019t live up to their reputations. He was impressed with how open David was and found Victoria to be warmer than her \u2018Posh Spice\u2019 image would have many believe.<\/p>\n
\u201c[Victoria] has a reputation of being kind of tough and sour. She was never like that with me,\u201d Stevens told the Independent. \u201cFunny, witty, fast. Unlike David, she was much more used to being reflective. <\/p>\n

\u201cDavid never had therapy. I felt at times like I was his therapist. Victoria, as she admits in the film, has had therapy, and was much more used to self-reflection.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Beckham has been using his own experiences to support current England and Man United player Harry Maguire, who has received a torrent of abuse over the last couple of years. Beckham knows what Maguire is going through and recently reached out to the defender to offer his support.<\/p>\n
Ahead of England\u2019s upcoming internationals with Australia and Italy, Maguire said: \u201cI actually spoke with David about three weeks ago, after the Scotland game [where he was targeted by Scotland fans].<\/p>\n

\u201cHe got in touch with me, so it was really nice of him and I really appreciated that. It meant everything. I\u2019ve spoken throughout my career about David Beckham being someone I looked up to and watched when I was a young boy.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnfortunately, I didn\u2019t end up on the right wing scoring and assisting as many goals as he has. But he was a big role model when I was growing up. It shows how classy he is to reach out to me and to message me. It was something I really appreciated. It was touching really.\u201d<\/p>\n
