David and Victoria Beckham Interview Part One | Parkinson | BBC Studios

What do you think, what do you want to put straight most of all? I mean, what is the thing that really annoys you about the image that the press have of you, the media? I think that... I mean, I would never complain at what the press say. I think you cannot mess around with publicity and ask when you have it and when you don't have it. But I think that people do pick up newspapers, do read things, and I think that people do paint a picture of you, and I think it's people's preconceptions. But like what? I think they think I'm a miserable cow in high heels and I just go down Bond Street all the time. Not that there's anything wrong in that, but... LAUGHTER You know, come on. All the ladies out there know that. That's in case any miserable cows who shop down Bond Street are watching the programme. LAUGHTER There's a lot of them out there. I always do it. Yeah, I think that, you know, it's me trying to get across that, yes, OK, so I am married to David, you know, I'm very, very lucky. But at the same time, I'd like to think that people can relate to me. I'm a normal girl, I'm a working mum. You know, I'm working very hard and I'm trying to raise a family at the same time. Do they think you're too pushy, perhaps? Is that what they think? A bit too pushy? I'm sure some people do. Why are you laughing? LAUGHTER Shut up, David. You were waiting for that, weren't you? We've seen the comedy sketches, you see. We've got that off to a fine art now. Well, I mean, you warn a lot of fans by doing the allergy interview, but the one thing about you is that you don't actually have to take yourself seriously in that point. You're able to laugh at yourself. You have to. There are so many people out there having fun. Yes, yes. But going back to this thing about image, do you feel that David is perhaps better, has a better public persona, image, than you have? I think he does have now. I don't think that he did a few years ago and I think that sometimes, when you can get down and think, why don't people understand me? Why are they saying this, why are they saying that? What better person to look at than my own husband to see how somebody can turn all that around? I mean, David is, uh... I call him Golden Balls, you know, now, because... You know, because now... Golden Balls, Beckham, eh? It's a good one, that one, isn't it? That's going to be... That's one of those things I shouldn't have said, but... I mean, in my interview last time, you said that Victoria's got this wonderful capacity for putting her foot in it. I mean, do you say to her if she's coming out tonight, look, for God's sake, you know? I always say it to her. You do, do you? She just doesn't listen. No.
