Victoria Beckham used to be so different

[Thatannoyingadvertsongstuckinmyhead]

I like her and think Brooklyn’s recent posts are awful.

I was looking on YouTube today and a video came up of her over the years, mainly with the spice girls and when younger. She was so funny, so cheeky and seemed so strong & confident. She did full, proper smiles and laughs, so nice to see.
Totally different to now, is it just age and we were all probably more like that in our youth?

Well if he has cheated I hope she has too.

She’s had 4 years for a publicity drive if that’s it. Real love & intellectual equals with her having more power?

Thousand yard mardy arse stare is the best description I've heard in ages 😂👏🏼👏🏼

... or maybe they do love each other, have fierce disagreements because they're both strong characters, are at least as faithful as glamorous couples with worldwide careers can be expected to be, love their kids and haven't actually fucked up too badly considering.

I mean, I haven't met them, so am not spinning deeply insightful fantasies; there are enough of those in this week's threads already. I'm just going by the facts that almost everyone who has met them, together or separately, likes them and that they've stuck by each other when it was hard and they didn't have to.

I think they offended the very easily offended Peltz Senior by, I dunno, not being awestruck enough, and he's run rings round them.

No idea what the heck Marc Anthony was playing at. Maybe that was a bizarre plot to make Victoria look like a prat, who knows? Maybe he had a little too much powder up his nose. He's certainly sticking to the NDA, so this agonising mystery must remain unsolved.

Quite pleased for brainy Brooklyn that an awkward wedding moment is the very worst thing he's ever had to suffer in his 26 years. Long may he remain so comfortable. Long enough to learn how to do some proper cooking, anyway. (Don't come at me, I watched 20 of his videos last night and got bored.)

What a bitchy comment. She has a lovely smile.

How is she so different? Before she had very little natural talent and couldn’t sing. Today she has very little natural talent and can’t sing. She even once released a single to silence the critics on that one and only proved them right by using voice changing recording software because she couldn’t sing.

She has behaved inappropriately with Brooklyn. She used him as a cash cow, and even wanted to copyright his own NAME, when he is an adult. She has behaved awfully to him and is a toxic parent. He has every right to go NC after her disgraceful behaviour. Good on him stepping up to defend his wife and to defend himself. She and David should be ashamed.

Yes that comment about worst thing ever endured, cringe. Amazed not being picked up on.

Apparently those cooking vids cost a few hundred grand a go to produce. He will succeed here in end with Nelson input.

omg I ALWAYS think of this when VB pops up...completely changed my view of her; she really made me laugh

iirc there was a bit where they were sharing experiences of entire football crowds singing 'VB/EJ takes it up the arse'

GOD she went through it in the 90s. And beyond. Especially with the press.

& she could laugh about it with Elton :)

I wonder if there’s a clash there with BB & a lack of empathy at his over (?) sensitivity as she/they may see it?

An OTT private dance with Mum the worst thing ever faced! Not in public domain versus a whole stadium singing ‘Posh takes it… ‘.

Also when DB got sent off in cup (!) Whole country up in arms & some burning effigies…

I watched the documentary and felt like she never looked relaxed/fully at ease even with her kids supposedly in candid snippets.
I do think its a contrast to how she was in the early clips of spice girls.

...in posed and official photos yes, but even in a supposed bts fly on the wall documentary she still seems incredibly serious and conscious of cameras, even doing stuff with her kids.
I mean I get being self conscious, but this is stuff they voluntarily choose to put out. They produced the documentaries themselves so presumably had full control of what was in it.

(Ive only ever seen Anna Wintour at fashion shows and she looks serious af but maybe she's like that all day long at home as well)

It’s been such a thing about her not smiling she can’t now come out like a Cheshire Cat. I’m sure she smiles in private with her children I think she has quite a humourous nature.

On what planet is VB funny and witty? Ridiculous.

The VB PR machine is in full swing it seeem.

How does an affair even start then? David comes on to some woman and says I’ll have an affair if you sign an NDA, she says no and then sells her story. I doubt he’s had affairs. The story would come out somewhere in the world.

I haven't noticed a difference. I have always found her very funny, actually. She's always been able to laugh at herself and is self-deprecating. The 'Golden Balls' comment on Wogan won her a lot of affection at the time.

I saw a clip recently of her saying she doesn't smile, it's her 'duty as someone who works in fashion' or something like that and I thought that is the same old her.

I'm old enough to remember her as Posh and when she got engaged to DB etc.. and I don't think she has changed at all.

I don't think Victoria has changed in herself. I think she has learned how to armour herself against all the attention she gets.

There's a lovely clip on her Instagram in November last year of her sitting on her sofa singing along to a Spice Girls song at her home with her son playing guitar. Oh my goodness does she seem exactly how she was back when she was in the Spice Girls. As she's singing she looks so much younger and sweet and a bit kooky.

I was thinking about this yesterday.

In the pictures of them in Paris, Victoria looked, I suppose upset maybe a bit nervous/anxious. David looked…. Smug. Maybe that’s the wrong word but they always look so tuned in to each other but they didn’t.

I am very sceptical he’s a serial cheat too.

The name branding probably on sound, legal advice.

I thought he looked faintly ridiculous with the oversized Hermes.

What 'legal advice' would allow you to brand someone else's name?

If I wanted to copyright your name, could I? No. Of course not. Brooklyn is an individual human being in his own right. How can someone legally copyright a name that doesn't belong to them?

Back in the 90's when he was playing for United, my ex worked at Manchester Children's Hospital. They visited almost weekly on the express understanding that the press were not informed.
