What is the ‘Beckham test’?
Twitter
From the orange peel theory to identifying narcissistic red flags, the latest addition to the list of relationship tests is “The Beckham Test.” Yes, it is named after the iconic duo: David and Victoria Beckham, the soccer star and Spice Girl. Known as Posh and Becks.
This year, the release of their Netflix documentary, ‘Beckham’, offered audiences additional insight into the life of this celebrity power couple. A specific clip from the show went up on TikTok, sparking a new trend inspired by the documentary.
How do you pass the new test?

Viewers have latched onto a particular moment from the docu-series that shows the Beckhams dancing together to Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers’ classic tune ‘Islands in the Stream’.
Now, eager young couples strive to pass the dance test themselves. One partner subtly (but not always so gently) begins to dodge the catchy tune, waiting for his partner to join in.
The other half usually takes a moment to register the unexpected turn of events before sweetly joining in the dance. Unfortunately, it seems like not everyone is passing the ‘Beckham Test’. Some suggest it’s more of a staged performance than a reflection of real red flags in your relationships. Let’s face it, a good portion of these TikTok videos look rehearsed.
However, users who participate in this trend see it as evidence that emulates a “power couple,” while some highlight it as the highlight of the Netflix documentary.
