Who directed the Beckham documentary on Netflix?
Beckham had an award-winning team of crew members to bring the docu-series to life but it was the identity of the show’s director which has stunned fans.
None other than actor Fisher Stevens, who is probably best known for playing Hugo in the HBO family drama Succession, is credited as its director and producer.
In addition to Succession, which ended back in May, Stevens has been in The French Dispatch, Isle of Dogs and The Grand Budapest Hotel.
He even won himself an Oscar as a documentary filmmaker in 2010 for The Cove.

Hardcore Friends fans may also recognise Stevens as Roger, Phoebe’s (played by Lisa Kudrow) therapist boyfriend in The One with the Boobies in 1995.
Viewers will remember how the rest of the gang didn’t exactly take a liking to Roger when he started pointing out their flaws and the dark reasons behind them.
Unsurprisingly, after learning Stevens is behind the docu-series, many fans took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their thoughts.
