Romeo stars opposite Paul Kircher (The Animal Kingdom), Guillaume Canet (Sink or Swim) and Benjamin Voisin (The Stranger).
The movie, Forty Love, centres around Sacha Gallo, a tennis superstar who’s been training with his father to win a major trophy in Paris.
But the arrival of a charismatic new rival — played by Romeo — challenges everything Sacha thought he understood about competition, ambition and himself.
The synopsis reads: “For the first time, he faces an opponent of an entirely different nature — love.

“A force as exhilarating as it is destabilizing — and far more dangerous than anything he has encountered on the court.”
Fans flocked to comment on social media and one wrote: “Romeo picking a debut where the rival becomes the love interest is bold casting.”
Another said: “Watching this to see if romeo can sell the moment the match turns personal.”
A third said: “Beckham energy meeting soft tennis drama is giving unexpected but welcome character arc.”
“This setup turns every serve into a metaphor and i’m here for it,” said another.
While a fifth wrote: “From the football pitch to a romance film…. That’s an unexpected career move. Wishing him the best for his acting debut.”
Forty Love marks the first directorial outing by renowned fashion photographer Pierre-Ange Carlotti.
The film is produced by Hugo Sélignac and Paco de Bary at Chi-Fou-Mi Productions, a Mediawan company, and co-produced by Studiocanal and Manna Studios.
Brooklyn Beckham opened up about the ‘ups and downs’ of his business just weeks before his controversial World Cup adCredit: GettyThe aspiring chef raised eyebrows this week when a big-money advert appeared to see him poke fun at his ongoing family feudCredit: Instagram
Swipe or not, the payday could have come at a good time for Brooklyn, who revealed just weeks before its release that he was ‘figuring out’ things in his business.
The eldest child of David and Victoria launched hot sauce brand Cloud23 in October 2024, and has admitted he has faced ‘ups and downs’ with the brand since.
Speaking at the Tribeca Festival in New York last week, Brooklyn explained of his company: ‘I didn’t really know what I was getting into when I was creating this.

“There have been a lot of ups and a lot of downs. There are things we’ve had to figure out.
“I’m still learning every single day. I’m going to continue to learn forever.”
Brooklyn also detailed how he wanted the brand to be much more than his famous name, which was built by his footballer dad and popstar mum.
“When I was creating this, I didn’t want to create another celebrity brand. I wanted to create the cleanest hot sauce there is with the most beautiful bottle,” explained the 27-year-old.
Brooklyn’s DoorDash ad has been widely seen as a nod to his estrangement from famous parents David, 51, and Victoria, 52, as well as his brothers and sister and wider family for over a year.
In the ad, he says to the camera: “You’re probably wondering why I’m watching the FIFA World Cup 2026 from home…”
Smirking Brooklyn then laughs: “It’s a long story.”
He goes on to throw down his tickets onto the coffee table.
The advert then says: “It’s complicated. More soon.”
Beloved England player Becks famously played in three FIFA World Cups in 1998, 2002 and 2006.
He’s out in America promoting the World Cup – watching the opening match with Tom Cruise.

Brooklyn – whose dad played for England in three World Cups – tells the camera: “You’re probably wondering why I’m watching the FIFA World Cup 2026 from home…”
He ends the DoorDash ad laughing: “It’s a long story.”
Now sources close to David and Victoria say they’ve been left “furious” over the ‘attack’ ad.
A source close to the Beckhams said: “To do an ad based on estrangement from family as if it’s a joke when his family is devastated and sister and grandparents are inconsolable…
“Surely he’s going to get stick for claiming he wants peace and privacy and nothing to do with his family, before trying to cash in on it all?
“He says he wants nothing to do with his family, but is now completely trading off them again.”
Brooklyn has been estranged from his family – including his siblings – for more than a year.
In January, the Beckhams’ eldest son made a dozen explosive accusations in a ruthless statement hitting out at his family.
The 26-year-old called out his famous parents for their “inauthenticity”, accused them of making bribes and scolded the family for their treatment of his wife on their wedding day.
He sent his parents a legal notice warning they can only contact him via lawyers.
In the extraordinary “desist” letter, he also instructed them not to “tag” him on social media.
But in a surprising twist, Brooklyn filmed a World Cup advert taking a savage swipe at his family’s estrangement.
It showed Brooklyn throwing down his match tickets onto the coffee table, which appeared to show a £250,000 designer watch gifted to him by his dad and a stack of unopened letters.
The ad went live on social media after we revealed Brooklyn spurned his sister Harper‘s attempt at a reconciliation.
The 14-year-old was pictured delivering a letter to the house Brooklyn shares with his wife Nicola Peltz at the weekend.
The couple were not home at the time and have not yet responded.
They quickly hit back at the Beckhams, claiming the letter felt like an “orchestrated move by his family” – insisting it “made them feel uncomfortable.”
A spokesman for the couple added: “That photographers were in place as the letter was hand-delivered says it all.

The 14-year-old arrived “unannounced” and “left seconds later without seeing him”, according to claims inPage Six.
A spokesperson for Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz hit out at his famous parents, claiming they organised the whole thing – an allegation dismissed by family source as “clearly nonsense”.
In new photos, David and Victoria, 52, were seen out for dinner at Nobu in Malibu amid the ongoing feud with Brooklyn.
The family appeared tense as they headed into the swanky eatery.
The fashion designer wore a khaki midi dress and black heels with a pair of oversized glasses, while David opted for a white T-shirt and black jeans.

Victoria and David’s son Romeo, 23, was also present for the dinner, along with his girlfriend Kim Turnbull, 25.
Romeo has stood by his parents throughout the family fallout his brother.
And last night was no different as he attended the meal out, just a day after sister Harper attempted to heal the rift by visiting Brooklyn’s LA home.
Harper was reportedly hand-delivering a letter as she arrived at Brooklyn’s home.
A rep for Brooklyn and Nicola said: “That photographers were in place as the letter was hand delivered says it all – this was choreographed for the cameras.”
But source for the Beckhams hit back today, saying: “This is clearly nonsense and just another untrue and unfair accusation.”
Shortly after news of Harper’s very brief visit, Brooklyn took to social media to reveal that he wasn’t in Los Angeles.
In his jaw-dropping message earlier this year, he made 12 key accusations towards his loved ones including allegations of “bribery” and family members telling Nicola “she’s not family”.
During his bombshell post, Brooklyn claimed: “I grew up with overwhelming anxiety. For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared.
“I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief.”
He added: “My parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family.
“The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.”
In six blistering posts on his Instagram stories he claimed dad David and mum Victoria have been trying to “endlessly ruin my relationship” with Nicola.
He said: “I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.”

David told Variety: ‘We’ve got four incredible kids. We’ve got businesses that we work hard on.
“But we always make time for each other, and we always have. I want Victoria to be the best version of herself, and vice versa.
“And as busy as we are, our family always comes first.

In the caption, the fashion designer penned: “You are our world, our everything. We love you so much!!!
“Happy birthday to the best husband, daddy, son, brother, and friend.”
Brooklyn’s brothers, Romeo and Cruz, also praised their dad by sharing photos of their younger selves with David.
Cruz wished his father a happy birthday with Romeo penning the message: “Happy birthday dad love u so much. Thank u for everything you do.”
Eldest son Brooklyn chose to remain silent for the second year in a row, which comes as no surprise considering he and wife Nicola’s major fallout with the rest of his family.

Earlier this year Brooklyn had launched a nuclear attack on his family stating that he did “not want to reconcile” with his them, and accused his parents of “controlling” the narrative.
Speaking to The Wall Street Journal magazine, Victoria did not refer to Brooklyn by name when asked about the rift but discussed how she had only ever tried to “protect and love our children”.
The Spice Girls star said: “I think that we’ve always—we love our children so much.
“We’ve always tried to be the best parents that we can be. And you know, we’ve been in the public eye for more than 30 years right now, and all we’ve ever tried to do is protect our children and love our children.
“And you know, that’s all I really want to say about it.”

Since speaking out on the “rift” between her family the fashion designer has been spotted letting loose at her early birthday celebrations.
Stunning Victoria took to her Instagram to show fans the incredible navy blue dress she decided to wear to the dinner.
Posing in the mirror of a huge dressing room, Victoria explained her dress of choice.
She said: “So I’m here in Miami and tonight I’m going out with my girlfriends for my birthday and I’ve got this amazing navy blue jersey dress which I love.
“I love the waist detail here, which really brings the waist in making it look super super toned. It’s got a slit up the side as well… It is the perfect party dress for a night out with my girlfriends.”
The Spice Girls star had her hair styled in natural waves and her makeup was flawless, complete with a very subtle smoky eye.
She accessorised the chic outfit with some blue open toed stilettos, chunky diamond bracelets and an emerald ring.
Victoria and her closet gal pals sat down for a very bougie meal at Italian restaurant Casadonna.
For starters they had focaccia bread, followed by a choice of grilled octopus or a baby gem lettuce caesar salad.

And for their third and final course the girls had the option to pick between filet mignon, branzino or beef ragu bolognase.
Victoria’s daughter Harper, 14, was also present at the girls dinner as she was seen giving her mum a big hug.
The singer-turned-fashion-designer captioned the snap: “I love you so much @harperbeckham.”
Victoria appeared over the moon as Harper surprised her with a huge birthday cake, which was complete with regal white icing and a singular gold candle.
Earlier this week Victoria broke her silence on her long-running feud with her son, amateur chef Brooklyn, 26.
Speaking toThe Wall Street Journalmagazine, Victoria did not refer to Brooklyn by name when asked about the rift but discussed how she had only ever tried to “protect and love our children”.
The Spice Girls star said: “I think that we’ve always—we love our children so much.
“We’ve always tried to be the best parents that we can be. And you know, we’ve been in the public eye for more than 30 years right now, and all we’ve ever tried to do is protect our children and love our children.
