Since it was announced that Cruz Beckham was set to launch a pop career, his famous parents faced a barrage of criticism for their offspring's early industry start.

But on Saturday, it was full steam ahead of the talented 11-year-old, as he was spotted on the streets of central London shooting scenes for the music video to accompany his debut charity single, If Every Day Was Christmas.

And the son of David and Victoria Beckham opted to show off his athletic prowess for his moment on film, skilfully rolling through the English capital's rain-sodden streets on a skateboard as diligent cameramen caught all of the action.

The youngster braved the wintry chill in a black hoodie and beanie hat, which he teamed with matching jeans and a pair of skateboarding shoes.

To ward off the relentless rainfall, crew members were on hand with large umbrellas, to keep the rising star dry between scenes.

As he skateboarded along broad pavements and narrow walkways, he could have been mistaken for any other boy having sporty fun, were it not for the cameras.

'He’s just doing it all himself and she’s supporting him. I mean I would do a duet, she seems keen.'

She added: 'But what, he’s how old? He’s like one year old. It would be cool. Yeah, I can do a duet with him. Maybe that will be my next thing.'

The news will no doubt be frowned upon by television personality Piers Morgan, after he called Cruz's early pop breakthrough 'sickening' on Wednesday's Good Morning Britain, adding that Cruz 'should be at school'.

Clear to state that he wasn't criticising Cruz himself, Piers said: 'It's not his fault. He's 11. But how did he manage to release this? It's sickening.'

Piers believes that if Cruz wants to be a pop star, he should go through the 'hard graft' like other singers, not just release something because his parents are famous.

Big things: Cruz appears to be getting into the swing of the pop star lifestyle, as he filmed the music video for his debut single in London on Thursday with his two brothers

However this response was met with equal fury from the youngster's manager Scooter Braun - who is also responsible for pop sensation Justin Bieber.

Taking to Twitter, the music manager fired back: 'He is an 11 year old who wanted to make a song to help other kids. Once again Piers shows why he is a jackass and why his show was cancelled.'

Piers then added: 'Stop pretending this is about charity when it's about promoting Brand Beckham & making YOU a ton of money off another young kid's back.'

To which Scooter replied: '@piersmorgan how about you match him dollar for dollar to the charity? Instead of criticizing step up and help these kids the way Cruz is.'
