Romeo Beckham Debuts in Gay Tennis Film

Romeo Beckham is set to make his acting debut in gay tennis movie Forty Love, as a first look at his latest foray was unveiled. 

The 23-year-old son of David and is starring in the film alongside French actor Paul Kircher, 24. It is directed by fashion photographer Pierre-Ange Carlotti, produced by Hugo Selignac's Chi-Fou-Mi Productions and co-produced by Studiocanal.

The story revolves around Paul's character Sacha Gallo, a tennis superstar who's been training with his father to win a major trophy in Paris and is irked by the arrival of new rival – played by Romeo. 

The first look image showed the nepo-baby intensely gazing at Paul with his neck tattoos and two earrings on display. 

The synopsis reads: 'For the first time, he faces an opponent of an entirely different nature – love. A force as exhilarating as it is destabilising – and far more dangerous than anything he has encountered on the court.' 

The film is described as having 'a rare tenderness, melancholy and strength'. 

Hugo added it is 'sensual, romantic and deeply moving romantic fable and coming-of-age story' about the 'demands of high-level sport, and everything that lies beneath the surface… led by outstanding performances.' 

Chloe Marquet, head of international sales at Studiocanal, said: 'Carlotti's singular visual language gives the film a real edge, while its exploration of desire, competition and identity will resonate with audiences worldwide.' 

Romeo's career has thus far comprised modelling and football. 

He has been modeling for several years for the biggest luxury brands including Yves Saint Laurent and Balenciaga, while being a long-time Burberry muse.

In October 2024 the then 22-year-old made his debut at Demna’s spring/summer 2025 Balenciaga show in Paris. Then came a surprise cameo at Milan Fashion Week the following season, where he walked the Versace autumn/winter 2025 runway.

The debut comes after Romeo and his DJ girlfriend Kim Turnbull enjoyed a pricey picnic with luxury goods from Harrods on Friday.

The star and Kim, 25, treated themselves to a variety of products including £33 cured meats, £10 olives and a punnet of fruit for a whopping £24.

Not holding back on their picks, they also dined on hummus, slices of ham, bread tomatoes, fattoush, eggplant moussaka and other dips.

Romeo went shirtless as he topped up his tan during the picnic at a London park, while Kim wore a casual white vest and tracksuit bottoms.

They were joined by their sweet dog for the day out as Romeo shared the snaps to his Instagram Story. The picnic comes after Romeo was fined for using his phone at the wheel of his Porsche.
