Victoria Beckham on Moving to America

[00:00:00]Welcome to America.

[00:00:02]>> Thank you.

[00:00:03]>> And I cannot imagine how you your life is because it's like that everywhere you go, isn't it?

[00:00:09]>> Yeah, I mean it's been crazy and when we first turned up in America, we didn't think that anybody even knew who we were. So, it was kind of crazy, but it's been so positive and so great and we love it.

[00:00:19]>> Did you really honestly think nobody knew who you were? I mean you got to know that people were, you know, chomping at the bit when they heard you were moving here.

[00:00:26]>> I mean I knew that people knew who the Spice Girls were and but you know, soccer isn't obviously in America what it is in the rest of the world. So, you know, we just thought, you know, we come from England which is like this big and so we were really pleasantly surprised.

[00:00:39]It was fantastic.

[00:00:40]>> you say pleasantly surprised, are you really? Because I know that they're outside your house all the time and they're or do you just does that just become a part of your life that they're just following you everywhere?

[00:00:49]>> I mean when we first got here, it was really intense. There was tons of press every single day and then they kind of figured out that, you know, we're actually quite boring and Britney's far more interesting. And so, they go they go to her house and then we don't really go out that much. I mean we work very hard. We do what we do, but then at the end of the night we go home to our kids and we're not out rolling out of nightclubs every night. So, we are a bit boring for them, I think.

[00:01:12]>> And what do Well, not really, but okay, but you know, if you're going to compare yourself to Britney, yeah, she's got a lot more going on, but And are you making a lot of friends? I mean I know Katie and Tom are friends, right?

[00:01:24]>> Yeah, we've met some really nice friends. And Eva Longoria has been really sweet. You know, when I first moved here, I didn't know anybody and you know, she was telling me where to get my nails done, where to get my hair done.

[00:01:33]>> You know, I could have told you that. I could have told you all that stuff.

[00:01:35]>> I didn't know you then, but now I now I will.

[00:01:37]>> Yeah, anytime. Any any kind of girly thing. And uh um And now are there cultural differences that you're you're finding here?

[00:01:47]>> I mean there was there's a couple of, you know, a couple of differences. You know, the first day of school for Brooklyn was quite interesting.

[00:01:53]>> And how old is Brooklyn?

[00:01:54]>> He's eight. He's eight years old and I took him to school and he met his teacher and his teacher was trying to relax him and said, "You know, Brooklyn, you know, what do you like?" He says, "Oh, I enjoy soccer." And do you collect anything? And And Brooklyn, who's 8, says, "Yes, I collect rubbers."

[00:02:09]And um >> I'm sorry, rubbers?

[00:02:12]>> Well, in England, a rubber is an eraser.

[00:02:14]You know, he collects little erasers and yeah.

[00:02:16]>> He collects erasers?

[00:02:18]>> Yes, like little erasers, you know, little smiley faces and >> How many erasers does he have?

[00:02:23]>> He's He's got quite a few, but the teacher, obviously, you know, that's a bit of a shock exactly.

[00:02:29]>> [laughter] >> Do you have the picture? Do I hold these up or do you have them still stored?

[00:02:33]These I don't know what I can show, what's what I'm able to show.

[00:02:37]I can't show that. Um I'll just show the cover. Um but these these pictures in here and this is, you know, an older issue, right? This is not new. This is >> Yeah, that was the month that we moved here.

[00:02:47]>> But uh man, these pictures are gorgeous.

[00:02:49]Yeah, you're you're a good-looking couple. Look at that.

[00:02:52]You just resting?

[00:02:53]>> Yeah.

[00:02:54]>> [laughter] [cheering] >> I was tired. Yeah.

[00:02:59]I thought David Beckham's crotch is a good place to rest.

[00:03:02]>> Yeah, sure.

[00:03:03]>> [laughter] >> If you're going to rest, yes.

[00:03:07]Um >> [laughter] >> And now, when you say you're boring, are you pretty Are Are you home like with the kids a lot or And do they understand They just grew up with this, right?

[00:03:15]>> Yeah, I mean must be really weird for the kids, but yeah, I mean they go to a really lovely school. They're They're fantastic grounds. They do their thing.

[00:03:24]They're They're normal little boys and And I go to work, do what I do and and David does what he does. I think that they think all mommies are Spice Girls and all daddies play soccer. That's just the way they do it.

[00:03:34]>> they Yeah. Now, so you have three boys.

[00:03:35]Do you want more kids? Do you want a girl?

[00:03:37]>> I would like a girl, you know, I think that it would be great. It would finish the family off to to have a little girl, but I think, you know, I've got a big tour coming up.

[00:03:46]>> Yeah.

[00:03:46]>> And I don't want to do it on >> are you going to be on tour?

[00:03:48]>> Just until February.

[00:03:49]>> Okay. Well, you can get pregnant, at you know, and and and have the baby. Can't you plan that kind of thing out?

[00:03:55]>> Well, you know, we'll we'll do the practicing before and then you know.

[00:03:58]>> Yeah. All right.

[00:03:59]>> And then see what happens.

[00:03:59]>> Yeah.

[00:04:00]Because seriously, I mean I would I would assume that it would be for you cuz you really do like, you know, really girly things to have a little girl to take her shopping and that would be great for you.

[00:04:09]>> Yeah, it would it would be great and David would love a girl, but um you know, three boys, I think it's it's less about parenting now for me and more about crowd control.

[00:04:17]>> Right.

[00:04:18]>> Because it's just I'm constantly don't do this, don't do that, don't touch this, don't touch that. And I listen to myself and I think shut up.

[00:04:24]>> Yeah. What do you sound like? Right.

[00:04:25]>> I moan constantly just keeping them under control.

[00:04:28]>> Yeah. Well, but you have to do that. But yeah, I can imagine. All right. Well, speaking of uh girly things, you have a book that is called that extra half an inch and it's uh it's basically teaching people how to uh that you don't need a lot of money to >> So, yeah, I was going to say you don't have to have a lot of money. You know, there's some great high street stores and also obviously some great designer stores, but it's not about spending a lot of money. It's about mix and matching and and buying sensibly.

[00:04:54]>> Right. And uh so, when we come back, you're going to you have some tips for me on on things I should wear, kind of, you know, items that I should have in my closet, things that >> Yes, heels. We need to get you some heels.

[00:05:05]>> Some heels. Then I have been dying I don't know I just haven't gotten around to it. So >> [laughter] >> All right. We're going to spice me up a little bit. We'll be back after this.
