(Newser) – More proof that celebrity kids don't grow up the same way the rest of us did: Romeo Beckham is the new face of Burberry. The 10-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham is featured in ads for the fashion house's spring/summer 2013 collection, the AP reports. Burberry's chief creative officer says Romeo was "a joy to work with and really stole the show" at the photo shoot. (Anna Nicole Smith's 6-year-old daughter also recently started modeling; click to see a picture from her Guess shoot.)

" But their parents should think twice before placing them in the middle of  the entertainment and modeling businesses" Why? if done in moderation and sensability it can be a very growing and wonderful experience. "How many kids survive that without becoming messed up?" Tons, I am sure tons do and tons don't. You have no details other than he was in some adds. Kids can be messed up from lots of things, kids who don't model get messed up.
