"With Brooklyn I keep having to remind him that I'm one of the cooler dads," David told British Vogue. "For his birthday I got him some of the Kanye shoes, so I was in his cool books for about five hours."

David and Victoria Beckham's eldest child turned 16 on March 4. While he may put on airs as if his famous dad isn’t one of the coolest guys on the planet, Brooklyn's actions tell a different story.

"He steals something from my wardrobe every single day," David told the magazine. "I had a pair of Saint Laurent leather trousers that I had never worn, and Brooklyn found them and wore them and is still wearing them. Those trousers were my trousers and they're definitely not anymore."

Brooklyn's Instagram seems to corroborate David's story, as the teenager has posted photos of himself wearing pants that fit the description.
