Posh: “I’m no Mariah Carey”
|
In a frank interview with the American edition of Elle magazine, Victoria Beckham admits that she has very little talent. There’s a news flash.
“It became very obvious from the start that I was never going to be the best singer or the best dancer or the best actress. I was never a 'natural'. You know, I've never been that good at anything, to be completely honest,” she confesses, adding: “I'm no Mariah Carey, but I can sing."
Posh also explains away her habit for pouting instead of smiling in photographs – it’s because she was mercilessly bullied at school. “I tried to be friends with people but I didn’t fit in so I kept myself to myself. People would push me around, say they were going to beat me up after school, chase me. It was miserable, my whole schooling, miserable.”
It gets worse. Friendless and all alone, her classmates would then attack her with missiles. “They were literally picking stones up out off puddles and throwing them at me.”
Put away those hankies, though, readers because it’s not all doom and gloom. Remember, things picked up rather dramatically for Victoria post-education and she has especially fond memories of her early dates with David Beckham. Candles? Champagne? Dinner at The Ivy? Er, not exactly. “We drove around in his car and would sit in car parks and talk for hours.”
That’s “talk” people, she definitely said “talk”.
