Former England captain and Inter Miami president David Beckham drew attention on social media after he cooked tandir bread during a visit to Qatar.
Tandir is a traditional clay oven used across Türkiye and the wider region, where flatbread bakes directly on the oven’s heated inner walls.
Beckham traveled to Qatar for an event. During the trip, he shared several posts from his official social media account and described his week as “a wonderful week full of art, culture, food and football.”
The retired footballer did not limit his visit to official appearances but also explored local cuisine and cultural venues, according to Turkish media reports.
One of the most talked-about moments from the trip took place at a kebab restaurant in Qatar.
Beckham entered the kitchen and prepared tandir bread.
Images showed him rolling out dough and baking the bread in the traditional oven.
His confident and professional manner in the kitchen surprised onlookers.
He also ate kebab during the visit and shared images from the restaurant with his followers.
Videos of Beckham cooking quickly gained traction online and reached millions of views. Social media users commented that he appeared “talented in every field,” while food enthusiasts also reacted to the footage.
Beckham currently serves as president of the U.S. club Inter Miami. His Qatar visit combined football, culture and gastronomy, as reflected in his own words describing the week.
