Victoria Beckham just wanted to fit in growing up.
During the former Spice Girl’s interview with Nicole Kidman for Vogue Australia, the Academy Award winner asked Beckham, 50, whether she really got driven to school in a Rolls-Royce.
“You know, my dad had a Rolls-Royce and he also had a white van,” she began. “I came from a working-class background and so my dad in the 80s, he was an entrepreneur, he started his business with my mum at the kitchen table and he did very well, so he bought himself a Rolls-Royce.”
Beckham added that she went to a regular school and hadn’t lived in a big house, but as soon as her father, Anthony Adams, started making money, he treated himself to the luxury car.
“One day we’d go to school in the Rolls-Royce and one day we’d go in the van because he’d still work, he was an electrical wholesaler and he was very much a worker.”
“Me and my siblings used to beg him, can we please go to school in the white van?” Beckham continued. “Like, we were mortified at the idea of going in the Rolls-Royce. How things have changed!”
Beckham is the oldest of three, which includes her sister Louise and her brother Christian.
