Though it makes us feel VERY old to admit it, Victoria and David Beckham's eldest son is now the ripe old age of 16.

The teen celebrated his birthday in March, and now that he's slowly approaching adulthood, one UK magazine has made him their flavour of the month.

Tatler has come under fire today for an article describing the famous teen as "hot, ready and legal" and calling him "pure, compelling social catnip."

The magazine's take on Brooklyn has been called "creepy" and "perverted" by angry readers.

"If you can't date him, get your daughter to date him," concludes the article.

"Pretty grossed out by @TatlerUK's piece on Brooklyn Beckham," wrote one reader, with another calling it "deeply unsettling."

Others pointed out that the piece would never have been published if Brooklyn was a 16-year-old girl.

Here are a few of the reactions so far:

So a magazine (Tatler) has written an article saying Brooklyn Beckham is (who just turned 16),"Hot. Ready. Legal." That's not weird at all.
