The always fashionable Victoria Beckham is on the cover of the upcoming issue of Elle. The Spice Girl opens up about her marriage to David, her talentless self (that’s what she said) and much more — It is by far her most revealing interview ever and the cover photo is gorgeous.
On not being the most talented person in the world:
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. I work seven days a week. And I so love what I’m doing. I could go shopping all day, which is what a lot of people think that I do. That’s their perception - that I’m a miserable bitch and go shopping all day and boss David about.
On her fashionista status:
I’m so camp! I’m such a gay man trying to get out. I don’t give a f*** what anybody thinks!
On being bullied at school and her lonely childhood:
Children were literally picking things up out of the puddles and throwing them at me. And I just stood there, on my own. No one was with me. I didn’t have any friends. People would push me around, say they were going to beat me up after school, chase me. It was miserable, my whole schooling, miserable. I tried to be friends with people, but I didn’t fit in. So I kept myself to myself.
On meeting David for the first time (she slipped him her phone number on her airline ticket stub):
Completely love at first sight. He told me he went home and wrote the number on so many other things in case he lost it. We found the ticket the other day! We drove around in his car and would sit in car parks and talk for hours and hours. We didn’t need to go out for meals. We didn’t need to go out for drinks. We just wanted to be together.
