Brooklyn Beckham made a candid career confession on Wednesday, finally setting the record straight on his occupation. 

Taking to Instagram, the eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham offered his 15.1million followers the opportunity to ask him a question - to which he was swiftly asked: "Are you a chef?" 

"NOPE," Brooklyn replied. "But food is my passion," he added.

Brooklyn's revelation may come as a surprise to fans who remember when the 23-year-old was approached by TikToker Daniel Mac while he was sitting in a red McLaren P1 last year. In the clip, Brooklyn can be seen in the driver's seat of the $1.2million supercar – thought to belong to dad David Beckham – while cruising around Hollywood. Take a look at the clip below...

Approaching the sports car for his video, Daniel asks: "Hey man, what do you do for a living? Your car's awesome." Recognising the social media star, Brooklyn responds: "Oh my god, I know you," before pausing and adding: "I'm a chef." 

Daniel then jokes: "Are you like the best chef in the world?" to which Brooklyn replies: "Trying to be." 

Brooklyn's confusing career admission comes just after the eldest Beckham delighted his Instagram followers with an adorable post depicting his "Daddy daycare" duties.

The star, who tied the knot with billionaire heiress Nicola Peltz last year, doesn't have any children yet. The loved-up duo are parents to five dogs, however, and their family seems to be continually expanding with new adoptions.

Brooklyn was pictured cooking up a storm in the kitchen, while simultaneously cradling a fluffy puppy in a sling. 

Surprisingly, fans didn't seem too phased by the cute four-legged fluff in Brooklyn's arms. Instead, confused followers were left divided over the budding chef's choice to leave a cork in the pot of ragu he was cooking. 

"Only here for the comments pointing out the cork," penned one fan, as another wrote: "Why are you cooking the cork for bro?"

Others confirmed it was a common technique used in French and Portuguese cooking to tenderise meat and add flavour. "I was taught to throw in one wine cork for every litre of stock I was putting in a stew and then I could buy cheap cuts as the cork would tenderise them," chimed in a third fan. 

Who knew a cork could be so divisive?
