We can't help but wonder if Brooklyn has surpassed dad David in the cool stakes...

Brooklyn Beckham turns 18 today (4th March) and, for anyone who remembers the day he was born waaaay back in 1999, it’s all a bit emotional.
Dad David Beckham is obviously feeling the same way, as he took to Instagram to share a super sweet post in honour of his eldest son’s 18th birthday…
Back then, David was the celebrity man on the scene, with his ever-changing hairstyles and a growing collection of tattoos – but, 18 years on, we can’t help but think that Brooklyn has usurped his famous dad in the cool stakes!
FIRST PICTURE: Brooklyn Beckham and Ashley Roberts: It’s on!
From his celebrity friends to his on-point after school pursuits, check out the evidence below and decide for yourself!
He gets invites to all the best parties
Just last week, Brooklyn had a rip-roaring time at the UK’s biggest music bash, the Brit Awards. Meanwhile, David has been stuck at home eating Wotsits whilst watching EastEnders on the sofa (or so we like to imagine).
He’s a sk8r boi
Which instantly scores him an extra 10 cool points, doesn’t it? Check out this ‘sick’ move, as the kids might say…
He’s friends with all the cool kids
When he’s not appearing in music videos for his mates The Vamps, Brooklyn can be found hanging out with his circle of fellow hot young things, including Selena Gomez, Jayden and Willow Smith, One Direction and Arianna Grande.
He covers high-brow magazines
Like his recent shoot for Wonderland magazine, a ‘bi-monthly publication for both men and women spotlighting contemporary visual culture’ – oo-er! Other covers BB’s scored include Vogue, Dazed & Confused and Miss Vogue.
He DJs at parties
OK, he DJ’ed at his mum’s work party – but when your mum is Victoria Beckham and the ‘work’ is celebrating her swanky fashion boutique’s first birthday, we reckon that can be classified as officially awesome.
He’s pretty artsy-fartsy
As well as snapshots into his insane life as the offspring of the world’s most famous couple, Brooklyn’s (mostly black and white) Instagram feed is full or arty shots such as this one.
His love of photography is well documented, of course. He ever scored a gig shooting Burberry’s campaign last year!
He’s got the coolest set of wheels
Who needs to drive your dad’s incredible fleet of luxury cars (which includes a Ferrari, a Bentley and a vintage Aston Marton) when Wizboard 0 AKA makers of the ‘It’ gadget all the cool kids are riding – gifts you their latest board for free? Not Brooklyn…
Happy birthday, Brooklyn, you total dude!
