Victoria Beckham Talks Style, Insecurities

By PopEater Staff Posted Sep 9th 2009 06:19AM

Victoria Beckham is known for her style, seemingly inability to smile and her soccer stud husband, David Beckham.

But she opened up to ELLE Magazine for a candid interview to talk about her deepest insecurities, her rumored breast augmentation and what it's like being a wife and mother in the spotlight.

See interview excerpts and more photos, after the jump. >>

On her private family life: "David and I have a working relationship together, and we also have a private life together. Someone used the example recently of Brad and Angelina. They might be in a movie together, but that doesn't mean they're going to let someone film them at home. I don't do 'at homes' with my family. I don't march my kids down red carpets. It's just not how we choose to do things."

On being separated from husband David Beckham for six months while he was playing soccer in Milan: "I felt like someone had chopped my arm off, to be completely honest. Everything we do, we do together. I very rarely go out on my own, unless it's a work commitment."

On adjusting to life in America: "You know, I love America. It's such a positive country. When people say to me, 'How long did it take for you to adjust? Poor you, it must've been really difficult' – poor me? I'm living in Beverly Hills. I'm very, very lucky. I wake up every morning and I recognize that I'm blessed."

ELLE Magazine

On whether her look has changed since moving from England to Beverly Hills: "I haven't changed the way that I dress at all, which is probably why people stare a lot."

ELLE Magazine

On raising her children: "[They] bloody well will work. Same as myself, same as David. They're not going to be the kind of kids that just hang about. I want them to be able to fulfill their passions, but I think it's important that the children grow up and have respect for themselves."

ELLE Magazine

On being perceived as cold person: "People think I'm a moody bitch. I do have my insecurities. Maybe that is why I look a little bit serious. The kind of person who's going to stand on the red carpet and love the attention and have the big grin – I'm just not like that. I want to get in there, do what I've got to do, and get home to my kids."

On her rumored recent breast augmentation to a smaller size: "We should just not talk about each other's boobs."

On the Los Angeles style of dress: "I find it odd that people will go to a nice restaurant or to theater in jeans and T-shirts. You know, it's great, David loves it. But it's very different to my personal style."

On raising her children: "[They] bloody well will work. Same as myself, same as David. They're not going to be the kind of kids that just hang about. I want them to be able to fulfill their passions, but I think it's important that the children grow up and have respect for themselves."

Your an uneducated person yourself. Go read her bipgraphy. She is TRAINED Dance Teacher-went to school for it for 12 years straight and has the highest degree you can get to teach allforms of dance in Britain. That's how she got her foot in the door for the Spice Girls.

And if she's so stupid how come she's the one making 2 mill a year on RESIDUALS from her SG days and your not!

Oh yeah, her fashion line is FEATURED in FAshion mags not even Madonna is smart enough to do that, for heaven's sake Madonna was wear VB in her fashion spread in W a few months back.

I bet she' laughing all the way to the bank because of silly twits LIKE YOU!

Her interview has made her the most approachable I have seen her. She is a beautiful woman but yes, she is perceived as cold and stern. It's a nice surprise to see that she is a wife and mother first, who just happens to be famous.

Rob - or whatever your name is...are you having a conversation with yourself?? I see you are replying to Gail - but you are Gail, now aren't you????
can you say LONELY???

By Elizabeth

To the moron who said she can't count from one "too" five. Before you take shots at someone you don't even know, try educating yourself. Loser...

By LIZA

Actually I think she is a refreshing sight compared to alot of others out there. She carries herself very well. So what she does not smile all the time doesn't mean she's miserable that's just the way she is.

By blondie5207

how smart can you be if you're saying "1 too 10"? lol funny

... and who gives a crap? Please!

By Diane

Terry - if you don't give a crap, why did you read the article?

And I care about this because...?

By eileen

It is an interesting name. I would have supported it if they named a daughter Sparrow. But a boy. Its like a boy named Sue... Give me a break...

By Squiggles

Instead of a boob reduction she should have gotten a nose job. And she looks scarily thin.

By Lisa

Yeah, she really revealed alot about her life.

By lisa

i cant stand to watch her. When i buy the magazines, i skip articles about her. I think she and holmes should switch husbands. Victoria with Tom Cruise would be entertaining...holmes with David would probably be boring but holmes is boring all the time anyway so it would be interesting to read about how holmes and david were handling the public embarrassment of cruise acting the fool around victorian and pictures of victoria's responses to cruise's antics...now that is entertainment!

By Stinky Butt

Ummm.. doesnt a 'breast augmentation to a smaller size' really mean a breast reduction.

By K

She is a nasty ugly witch. No wonder David cheated on her.She stays with him for the money. She always looks miserable, and that hair... sorry but she is not good looking at all

By Cynthia J.

As long as they are good parents to their 3 kids alot can be forgiven. What, exactly, does this anorexic Posh do? Her husband is beautiful but when he speaks, well, it's a total turn-off. Take some speech classes please. Why we are curious and envious of these idiots is beyond me. I guess it's the goddamn money. How stupid are we?

By suz

She is one of the ugliest women I've ever seen. I can't understand what the big deal is about her. She was a judge on the Project Runway finale and she wore an orange dress that made her look like a pumpkin. Don't understand why she was asked to be a judge in the first place. As for comparing her to Brad & Angelina - IN HER DREAMS!! SHE IS NO ANGELINA - FOR SURE!!!!!!!!!
