DAVID Beckham fans are only just realising a very famous A-list actor from a hit TV series directed his new Netflix documentary.
The whole Beckham clan turned out to support their dad for the screening of the highly anticipated Beckham, which airs tonight.
The four-part series, Beckham, focuses on his life and career and it was actually directed by a very well-known man.
None other than actor Fisher Stevens is the man behind the magic in the new Beckham documentary.
Succession fans may well recognise Fisher from his role as Hugo Baker in the hit show.

As well as his Succession role, in the very first season of Friends actor Fisher played the role of Phoebe’s psychiatrist boyfriend Roger.
In the episode he’s seen acting like a fool to all of the six titular characters, but fast-forward all these years and he’s in a new series altogether playing Hugo Baker.
Fisher is also a director, writer and producer alongside his role as a stage and screen actor.
The Beckham clan celebrated the new Netflix series on Tuesday night, at a glitzy premiere with celeb pals.
Amongst them was James Corden, who relocated to the UK earlier this year.
James was spotted attending the premiere after party at The Twenty Two in black jeans and a casual striped jacket.
Comedian Jack Whitehall, who recently became a dad for the first time, was also in attendance and was seen suited and booted as he made his way inside the fancy Mayfair restaurant.
The Twenty Two is a chic eatery and bar in Mayfair and, last night, it was the location for the post-premiere celebrations with the many famous faces who came along to honour the Beckham clan.
US Vogue editor Anna Wintour, who is friends with the Beckhams, graced the A-list event.
As did David's best friend Dave Gardner and his Victoria's Secret model girlfriend Jessica Clarke.
Victoria's fellow Spice Girl Emma Bunton arrived in all black, while Geri Horner's daughter Bluebell took her dad Christian as her date.
BBC sports presenter Alex Scott stunned in a backless brown dress, while Guy Ritchie's wife Jacqui Ainsley wore a plunging black cardigan paired with a brown pencil skirt.
