He only just turned 16, but Brooklyn Beckham is already an Instagram star, with millions of followers, and a penchant for the black and white filter (very Harry Styles). With an interest in art, film and photography, it's no surprise that Brooklyn is all over the social media site - plus he has a pretty fabulous life, we'd totally over-share everything if we were hiking in the Hollywood hills and eating sushi at Nobu in our downtime.

But David Beckham recently revealed that he and Victoria don't just allow the teenager to post what he wants - in fact, they monitor everything he posts online.

Speakling to ABC News, Beckham revealed that while Victoria is the "strict one in the house", the couple both "control everything" they post.

"Our 16-year-old son, Brooklyn, he's got like 4 million Instagram followers. We control everything that he posts, everything that he does, and it's the same with our other kids" he revealed.

So all those pics of Brooklyn shirtless in the gym, or hanging out with celeb mates? Totally 'Brand Beckham' approved.

David also told* ABC News* that he was "heartbroken" over the fact that none of his sons wanted to follow their Dad into football - because they were afraid of being in their father's shadow.

"I'd love them to play soccer, but I want them to be happy doing it, you know.

"One of my boys turned around to me the other day, he said, 'Daddy, you know, I'm not sure I want to play football all the time...' It broke my heart a little bit.

"He said, 'Every time that I step onto the field, I know people are saying, you know, 'This is David Beckham's son,' and if I'm not as good as you, then it's not good enough.' I said, 'Okay, stop right there... You play because you want to play."

David Beckham = cutest Dad ever.
