      It’s a fantastic format from a docuseries on David Beckham.

      From: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/david-beckhams-be-honest-thank-you#origin

      On October 4th, the documentary series BECKHAM about the life and career of the British football player David Beckham premiered on Netflix. During an interview with Beckham’s wife Victoria, “Posh Spice” of the Spice Girls band, Victoria tells the interviewer that both she and her husband came from working-class families, with David interrupting and telling her to be honest, with Victoria reluctantly admitting that her father had a Rolls-Royce:

      - [Victoria] We both come from families that worked really hard. Both of our parents work really hard. We’re very working, working class.
      - [David] Be honest.
      - [V] I am being honest!
      - [D] Be honest.
      - [V] I am being honest!
      - [D] What car did your dad drive you to school in?
      - [V] So, my dad did-
      - [D] No. One answer. What car was it?
      - [V] It’s not a simple answer because-
      - [D] What car did your dad drive you to school in?
      - [V] It depends…
      - [D] No, no, no, no, no.
      - [V] Okay, In the 80s, my dad had a Rolls-Royce.
      - [D] Thank you.

      I’d say this is an incorrect usage of the format and is really pushing the narrative too strongly from the guy.
