The "Be Honest. Thank You." meme features a multi-panel exploitable template based on a scene from an interview with British singer Victoria Beckham. In the panels, while Victoria is interviewed, her husband and footballer David Beckham appears in the doorway, urging her with the phrase "Be honest." Following this, Victoria appears reluctantly admitting something she previously glossed over. This image macro format initially gained popularity on Telegram and spread across platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook.
The meme originated from the documentary series titled BECKHAM about British football icon David Beckham, which debuted on Netflix on October 4th. In a specific scene, Victoria Beckham is interviewed about her and David's background. David interrupts her account, prompting her to admit her more affluent upbringing after he cues her with "be honest," acknowledging her father owned a Rolls-Royce. Following this, the meme was first posted by Reddit user Rajat_Chauhan on X on October 6th, 2023 in the subreddit /r/funnyvideos, where it rapidly gained traction.[1]
