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."

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."

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."

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."

Only thing smart or classy about her, is the husband she chose....

You all are uneducated people yourself. Go read her biography. 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!

She just wishes she was like Angelina Jolie. Just another wanna-be.
