Safe cooking used to be common sense—so why did this celebrity reach for seawater instead of the tap?

Brooklyn Beckham has stunned followers with an unusual cooking choice that left many feeling queasy.
Fans were quick to voice their disgust after the celebrity posted a video showing a controversial pasta hack.
Others, however, were more interested in the luxury setting than the contents of the pot.
The 26-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham caused a stir after sharing a social media video where he used seawater to cook pasta onboard a luxury yacht.
Brooklyn, who was promoting his hot sauce brand Cloud 23, dipped a pot into the ocean before boiling pasta in it—sparking an immediate flood of comments.
The industrial kitchen setup onboard the spacious yacht was visible in the background of the clip, adding to the drama unfolding in the comments section.
‘Did he make the pasta with the pool water?’ one viewer asked.
Another remarked: ‘Obviously, cooking pasta in sea water where there are boats that dump diesel into the sea and E.coli abounds is not really the best alternative you could have chosen.’
A third added: ‘When you are sat on the toilet for the 4th time in 30 minutes you will realise that the source where you got the water from wasn’t the wisest of moves.’
Still, not all feedback was negative.
‘Nice work! I see you’re cooking on a yacht too. Nice one!’ wrote one supportive commenter.
Another added: ‘Love your cooking tips with cloud Brooklyn xx.’

The pasta incident came amid ongoing tensions within the Beckham family, following Brooklyn’s move from the UK to the US with his partner.
The couple, who married in April 2022, have reportedly had growing friction with his famous parents.
It recently emerged that Brooklyn had unfollowed his brothers Cruz, 20, and Romeo, 22, on social media.
According to reports, both brothers have since blocked Brooklyn.
Despite this, Brooklyn still followed his parents—Victoria, 51, and David, 50—at the time of reporting.
It’s not the first time a viral food trend has raised eyebrows—and questions about common sense in the kitchen.
Just like the seawater pasta stunt, some online crazes have unexpected ripple effects far beyond social media.
One recent example even caused a surprise shortage at the supermarket.

Would you ever try cooking with seawater—or is that a line you’d never cross?
