Brooklyn Beckham Denies Smoking As It's Revealed He's 'Obsessed' With His Clean-Cut Image

Brooklyn Beckham was papped holding a cigarette earlier this week, leading his fans to wonder whether the oldest Beckham child had a smoking habit.

However, sources close to the teen star have denied that the cigarette belonged to him, revealing that the 17 year old is actually “obsessed” with maintaining a clean cut image.

In the images, the aspiring photographer can be seen taking his friend’s cigarette with his back to the camera, and a source has now explained to The Mirror: “He was given it to hold while his friend tied his shoe laces.

"Brooklyn is very anti-smoking as his grandfather, whom he adored, died of lung cancer.”

Another insider close to the star added: “He’s popular at school, but he’s not like a lot of guys his age.

"He’s obsessed with his clean-cut image, and although some of his friends smoke and drink, he’s completely against it.

"If a girl approaches him with alcohol at a party, he’ll ask why she’s drinking, and he doesn’t want anything to ruin his career before it even gets started.”

A mantra that his famous parents, David and Victoria Beckham, have no doubt instilled in him.

Brooklyn is currently nursing heartache after splitting with girlfriend Chloe Grace Moretz, with sources claiming that the Brit had dumped the US actress because he found her “too clingy”.
