What is the 'Beckham test'? Victoria and David Beckham spark cute TikTok dance trend

Have you put your significant other to the “Beckham test” yet? A moment from Victoria and David Beckham's new Netflix docuseries sparked a new TikTok dance trend.

Viewers narrowed in on a heartwarming scene of the couple, who tied the knot in 1999, dancing in the kitchen to "Islands in the Stream" by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers. David Beckham joins Victoria Beckham after she starts dancing to the country song in the kichen.

“Why I feel happy now is I feel really content now, and I get that sense you feel really content now,” Victoria Beckham says in the documentary as the footage unfolds.

The TikTok trend is modeled on that short clip. In the videos, a TikTok user puts "Islands in the Stream" on, with no introduction, and begins dancing. Then, they wait and see if their partners "pass" the test by joining them the same way David Beckham joined his wife.

TikTok user Nicole Douglas (@nicoledouglas) puts her boyfriend to the test in a video that caught the attention of David Beckham, who commented, “Pass ✅🤣."

She starts dancing in the kitchen, only to have her boyfriend walk in and look back and forth in confusion. Then, he starts dancing hilariously, and she starts laughing.

"He goes all the way," she wrote in the caption.

Douglas tells TODAY.com that her boyfriend had no idea she was recording.

"Me and my boyfriend finished watching Beckham’s documentary and this trend showed up on my TikTok just after," Douglas says. "I was in the kitchen and wanted to see what his reaction would be as we just saw this scene and said what a cool couple David and Victoria were."

After noticing that David Beckham commented through an Apple Watch notification, she thought it was a "fake profile."

"It was his official profile, so I immediately ran to my boyfriend to show him, and we were so happy," Douglas says. "Especially because he “approved” the reaction of my boyfriend to the challenge."

TikTok user Erica Newton (@ericalouise33) posted her own version, in which her boyfriend not only joins her, but seems to have a pre-prepared choreographed dance. Even when she can't contain her laughter, her boyfriend continues to dance.

“He more than passed,” one user commented. “He nailed it.”

Newton tells TODAY.com her boyfriend was surprised to find the video had gone more viral than any of her other posts.

"I actually didn't even tell him that I'd filmed or that I posted it until I woke up the next day and it had had like 13,000 views — that's the most I've ever had on anything," he says.

As her views kept increasing, she told him about the post.

"He's very laid back and he's not into TikTok," he says. "He doesn't know the trend. He was like 'Why is this even a trend?'"

The trend lets us in to people's kitchens and couple's dynamics from around the world, as a video from @monicaene265 shows.

Testing her husband, who is already in the kitchen, she dances into the kitchen while the song plays in the background. It doesn't take long for her husband to join her. Asking no questions, her husband dances with a smile, and the two dance for a full minute.

What happens when someone doesn't pass the Beckham test? TikToker Kaila Wen tried to entice her boyfriend to join her, but looks he looked at the camera and leaves in the video. “The Beckham doc made me do it,” she wrote in the caption.

Some users didn't see this as a failed "Beckham test" though.

"He passed he's just camera shy," one user commented.

Another user commented that they would "say he passed. it’s actually sweet that he didnt want to do it on camera."
