See what Nicola Peltz looked like before she shot to fame and married into the Beckham family

Images of actress Nicola Peltz prior to her fame have been re-emerged on the internet, coinciding with Brooklyn Beckham’s tumultuous rift with his renowned family members.

Born into the limelight, the daughter of renowned investor Nelson Peltz and model Claudia Heffner Peltz graced red carpets well before she became widely recognized. At a tender age, she was a regular attendee at high-profile New York Fashion Week events and film premieres.

Initially, Nicola, who is now 30, maintained that her parents were not in favor of her becoming an actress. However, it’s evident that she managed to change their minds: she started her career in showbusiness at the age of 11 when she landed her debut film role.

During her teenage years, she began appearing in films like “The Last Airbender” and “Transformers: Age of Extinction.

In the year 2024, exactly two years following her romantic wedding to Brooklyn in the scenic locale of Palm Beach, Florida, she embarked upon a creative venture, taking on the roles of director, writer, and lead actress for her own self-financed film titled Lola.

For quite some time now, there have been whispers across various social platforms regarding her physical transformation from an up-and-coming actress to a top-tier celebrity. Some spectators have suggested that she might have opted for cosmetic procedures like plastic surgery and possibly a nose reshaping treatment.

Although she hasn’t explicitly commented on the rumors, she has been open about sharing her skincare regimen and thoughts on growing older.

During a recent chat with Who What Wear last month in May, she mentioned that as she grows older, she becomes increasingly curious about her skin.

I think it might be important to keep in mind that what suits your skin might not work as well on mine due to my sensitive nature. Our skins could be quite different.

Nicola expressed, “I really enjoy chatting with other women, discovering their passions, finding out what they’re into – be it TikTok videos or Instagram posts – and experimenting with various items. It seems like my drawer filled with products might burst soon…

When asked about any change in her viewpoint regarding beauty since she turned 30 earlier this year in January, the actress responded affirmatively by saying: ‘Indeed.’ or ‘Absolutely.’

I strongly believe that discussing the effort to improve oneself, rather than relying on makeup, is an important topic that I find fascinating.

Peltz went on to say, “I find it lovely that we all apply makeup and discuss it, yet I believe the reasoning behind it holds equal significance.

I wish more individuals view makeup as a tool for emphasizing their features instead of concealing or masking them. Back in my high school days, I often felt the urge to hide myself with makeup.

I hope people today see makeup less as a disguise and more as an enhancement. In high school, I used to feel like hiding behind makeup.

Apart from expressing her thoughts, Nicola has shared her views on social media, specifically addressing the negative aspects that are often prevalent on these platforms.

2022 found me expressing regret in an interview with Grazia, sharing that it’s truly disheartening to see less love, particularly online spaces, where connection and understanding should flourish.

‘I don’t understand the whole hating on other people’s Instagrams, but to each their own, I guess.’

Peltz commented, ‘It’s truly essential to be around excellent individuals. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have a strong network of support.’

At the age of 11, Nicola made her screen debut in the Christmas comedy film Deck The Halls (2006). 

Four years on, she assumed the character of Katara in The Last Airbender (2010), a role that received unfavorable reviews upon its initial theater release.

In 2014, she featured in the movie Transformers: Age of Extinction, and she also had a small role (voice-only) without credit in Transformers: The Last Knight.

In the film Holidate (released in 2020), Peltz collaborated with Emma Roberts, and they both took on acting roles as well as directing duties for the 2024 movie titled Lola.

She admitted to Grazia that the opportunity to direct wasn’t something she had intentionally pursued; instead, it came about unexpectedly. To be truthful, she found it quite terrifying because directing was an entirely new experience for her.

For the first time ever, stepping into the pre-production phase feels incredibly rewarding. The opportunity to handpick the cast for this film and contribute to every intricate aspect has been an extraordinary experience. Here’s hoping that I’ll have another chance to don the director’s hat once more.

Besides her roles, she appeared as characters in the television series Bates Motel from 2013 to 2015, and in the miniseries Welcome To Chippendales that aired in 2022.

In addition to her acting work, Nicola also gained attention when she was reported to be in a romantic relationship with Brooklyn back in 2019.

In June of 2020, he proposed marriage and they got engaged, only a few months into their relationship. Fast forward to 2022, Nicola and Brooklyn exchanged vows in a heartwarming ceremony held in Palm Beach, Florida.

By June 2020, the couple were already engaged, having started dating just a short time before. They finally tied the knot at a beautiful wedding in Palm Beach, Florida, in the year 2022.

Peltz and her stepmother, Victoria Beckham, found themselves caught up in whispers about a disagreement concerning Peltz’s wedding dress, an issue that Peltz eventually clarified.

Grazia was told by her that originally, Victoria was intended to create a wedding dress – however, due to Beckham’s workshop being unavailable, she opted for a Valentino gown in the end.

However, despite appearing to resolve any reported conflicts earlier, Victoria and David now seem embroiled in a deepening dispute with Nicola and their son, Brooklyn, suggesting a fresh round of tension.

Last month during David’s 50th birthday festivities in May, the couple was not present. A source informed People that there seems to be some tension between them.

Although they haven’t shown up at the Beckhams’ recent gatherings, it’s important to note that their friendship isn’t irrevocably broken.

The source revealed, ‘They deeply care for him and are consistently present. Unfortunately, they feel hurt and let down because he’s no longer involved in our family affairs.’

Previously on Tuesday, Nicola posted heartwarming images from her Instagram hub showcasing herself and her spouse, as they commemorated their fifth engagement anniversary.

In simpler terms, Brooklyn shared an affectionate message saying, “Five years ago today, I proposed to this wonderful lady. It was the best decision I’ve ever made! I love you so much.
