That includes when his sons, who all spent time playing football at the Arsenal academy, have been out on the pitch.
“I go quiet, actually. And then the boys know exactly whether I’m happy or not happy.”
In the interview, released this week but recorded last year, he insisted he had tried to pass on “the same values” his mother instilled in him and his siblings.
“I would like to say that I brought my children up with the same values as what my Dad and Mum taught me and my sisters.
“My kids are very polite. My kids are very well-mannered. My kids are humble, and they all have the same values as what I have and my wife has.
“That’s the proudest thing that we have as parents, in all honesty.”
Beckham heaped praise on Victoria Beckham, 51, for giving him “the greatest” gift in their four children.
“Family has always been important, and the greatest thing [Victoria Beckham] has ever given me is my four children.
“We created this life with four amazing children, which are the most important things in our life.”
Son Brooklyn Beckham is reported to be estranged from his parents, having been absent from his father’s 50th birthday celebrations earlier this year, and from his knighthood ceremony.
However, Brooklyn Beckham, who makes online cooking videos, insisted he “never” worried about gossip, and praised his wife, Nicola Peltz.
He told the Daily Mail: “There’s always going to be people saying negative things, but I have a very supportive wife.
“Me and her, we just do our thing, we just keep our heads down and work. And we’re happy.
“Everyone is always going to say rubbish. I just try and do this, play some golf with some friends. It’s good fun.”
