In an unexpected career transition, Romeo Beckham is now entering the world of acting as he is set to make his acting debut in the upcoming queer romance, “Forty Love”.
The 23-year-old will star in the film directed by fashion photographer Pierre-Ange Carlotti, and it also marks Carlotti’s directorial debut as well.
According to “Variety”, the French film follows the story of Sacha Gallo, a tennis superstar who has been training with his father to win a major trophy in Paris.
However, the arrival of a charismatic new rival (portrayed by Beckham) challenges Gallo more than his athletic abilities.
The arrival forces the tennis star to reconsider everything he thought he understood about competition, ambition and himself.

The synopsis reads: “For the first time, he faces an opponent of an entirely different nature - love.”
Beckham will star alongside Paul Kircher, Guillaume Canet, Benjamin Voisin and Catherine Deneuve.
The producer of the film, Marc-Olivier Selignac, described the project as a “sensual, romantic and deeply moving romantic fable and coming-of-age story” that explores the pressures of elite athletics and the emotions that often remain hidden beneath the surface.
Beckham is widely recognised as a model as he has been doing so for several years now. He also pursued football and tennis in the past, but left both in 2024 to become a full-time model.
Since his career pivot, he has walked on multiple international runways for famous brands such as Balenciaga, Versace and Burberry.
Beckham also appears to be experiencing a series of firsts lately; in addition to his film debut, he made his first appearance at the Met Gala earlier this year as a guest of Burberry.
The news of the model’s acting debut comes following the ongoing feud between his older brother, Brooklyn and the rest of his family.
Just last week, Brooklyn took a jab at his family during a World Cup ad for DoorDash, and he ended up receiving a lot of backlash from the Beckham fans who let it be known that the ad was “disappointing”.
“Forty Love” is scheduled to be released on November 25 in France, with the international release plans yet to be announced.
