Celebs who are 'banned' from driving as David Beckham's son Cruz loses license

Cruz Beckham recently joined the list

Following the news that Cruz Beckham has been banned from driving over a speeding offence, we've been wondering which other A-listers have had their licences revoked by the law.

For those out of the loop, 20-year-old Cruz - the youngest son of footballer David and fashion designer Victoria Beckham - took to Instagram to reveal that, back in September, he'd been 'done' by police 'for doing 24 in a 20'.

At the time, he claimed he'd clocked up an unfortunate six penalty points for speeding less then two years after first getting his licence - and as per DVLA rules, the youngster faced an automatic licence revocation.

"Cruz is gutted about it," a source told The Mail of the news. "It was a couple of speeding tickets, which are so easy to come by these days with 20mph zones. It’s infuriating, but he seems to have accepted it and taken it on the chin."

Possibly like yourself, Cruz's latest law-breaking got us at Tyla curious as to whether any other celebs had faced the same punishment.

And after some hefty research, we found that there were a lot.

Emma Watson

Former Harry Potter actress, Emma Watson, was banned from driving for six months earlier this year, after being caught driving through Oxford at 38mph in a 30 zone the June prior.

Having previously racked up nine points, the further three broke the UK's 'totting up' law, and as a result, she was automatically banned for half-a-year. On top of this, the 35-year-old was forced to cough up £1,044 in fines.

Oddly enough, another former member of the Wizarding World received the exact same double-whammy punishment the same year.

Zoë Wanamaker, who plays Madam Hooch in the magical film franchise, was caught bombing it down the M4 motorway - which was a 40mph area at the time - six miles over the limit.

Having also accumulated nine points previously, like Watson, the 76-year-old received a six-month ban and the same fine.

Stormzy

British rapper Stormzy was previously banned from driving for nine months for confessing to calling someone on his mobile phone whilst driving his Rolls-Royce through London.

After a judge described the musician's actions as 'dangerous and irresponsible', he was also dealt a £2,010 fine, having previously been caught for driving a car with illegally tinted windows.

US media personality Paris Hilton has found herself in trouble with road traffic police on several occasions - first, whilst driving under the influence through Los Angeles in 2006, and the following year, for driving with a suspended licence at 70mph in a 35mph zone at night without headlights.

Nicole Ritchie

Hilton's celebrity gal-pal Nicole Richie was arrested the same year for driving under the influence after going the wrong way on the 134 Freeway in Burbank, having smoked marijuana and took Vicodin. She completed her probation in December 2010, however, and has been permitted to drive ever since.

Liam Payne

Late One Direction singer Liam Payne was caught driving his £35,000 Ford Ranger at 43mph in a 30mph zone in West London back in 2023, being handed a six month ban, having his licence stripped and being fined £293, given that it was a repeat offence.

Rio Ferdinand

Fellow Brit, footballer Rio Ferdinand has received a number of driving bans over the years, the most notable for both drink-driving and excessive speeding. He received bans in 1997, 2003 and 2005.

Shia LaBeouf

Hollywood star Shia LaBeouf also had his licence suspended for a year back in 2008, after he refused a chemical test following an incident which saw his car roll in Hollywood during a left turn, and a DUI arrest.

Other stars who've found themselves in trouble with the law over driving offences are comedian Steve Coogan, actress Jamie Presley, child star Amanda Bynes, sportsman Lamar Odom, funnyman Kevin Hart, movie star Lindsay Lohan, singer Justin Bieber, musician Justin Timberlake, TV star Nick Knowles, media personality Katie Price, Geordie Shore's Charlotte Crosby, Coronation Street's Helen Flanagan.
