The first trailer for the French film “Forty Love”, starring Romeo Beckham in his acting debut, was released on 16 October, according to the Independent and the Evening Standard.
What happened
The trailer, unveiled on Friday 16 October, shows Beckham’s character as a rival tennis player confronting Paul Kircher’s gay tennis superstar Sacha Gallo. The clip includes a line spoken by Beckham’s character: “Sleep with your eyes open. I’m coming for you.” The film is set in the world of professional tennis and features night‑club scenes and a love‑hate dynamic between the two leads.
What the reports add
The Independent notes that the film is directed by fashion photographer Pierre‑Ange Carlotti and also stars Guillaume Canet and Benjamin Voisin. It describes the trailer as giving a glimpse of the on‑court rivalry and off‑court tension. The Evening Standard adds that the film will open in French cinemas on 17 November and repeats the quoted line, adding another line from Beckham’s character: “It’s not my fault if you’re f*****g in love with me!” while also mentioning a passionate kiss and a bedroom scene shown in the trailer.
What was said
“Sleep with your eyes open. I’m coming for you,” the trailer records Beckham’s character saying, as reported by both outlets.
How it came about
Beckham’s involvement was announced in June, when it was revealed that the 24‑year‑old would make his first on‑screen appearance in a French production. The film’s director, Pierre‑Ange Carlotti, is known for his work in fashion photography. This follows a recent wave of high‑profile sports figures crossing into acting, a trend highlighted in Felo’s coverage of celebrity film projects earlier this month.
