Brooklyn Beckham has claimed that being in the public eye doesn’t “affect” him as he’s been in the spotlight since birth.

The eldest of the Beckham brood said that he doesn’t get fazed by the attention in the same way as other young stars because he’s more “used to it.”

“A lot of young influencers feel pressure being in the public eye,” he told Compelo. “But it is something I have grown up [with].

“I don’t think being in the public eye has affected me too much. I’m just used to it. Obviously I have to be more aware as a teenager that someone may be capturing shots of me unaware."

Beckham, 18, has just released his debut photography book to mixed reviews, but certainly doesn’t plan on giving up on his dream any time soon.

“I’ve been taking photographs for a few years now,” he said. “I take them of everything I do and see. I have been posting a lot of them on social media.”

Having just completed his A-levels in Sixth Form, the teenager is gearing up for a degree in photography and a major move from London to New York.

Beckham recently revealed that he has accepted a place at photography college in the US after being offered a scholarship.

“I have just done my photography A Level and have been offered a scholarship at an amazing college in New York to study photography further,” he said.

“I’ll be heading out there later this year and will do my degree over there.”
