Well done Victoria - you answered every question honestly and genuinely. I think she handles her fame perfectly. Such a lady. I bet she is a fantastic mother. Wish the tabloids would leave her in peace.
It's sad if she really is ok . People think it's rude to say someone if fat but not that they are skinny. No one in a serious interview would ask a woman "how much junk do you eat" if someone was overweight.
I am always amazed at just how funny Victoria Beckham can be. She's natural and self-effacing and I wish the press would give her the credit she deserves.
This is disgusting and should never have been allowed to air. Many girls out there (like me) who are naturally skinny/slim.. it doesn’t mean they have a problem!!! Shame on Michael!
I love how all these celebrities are "naturally thin." She's too thin, and its because she's starving herself, its so obvious and i dont know why her "fans" are so desperate to deny it. But its not my problem and i dont think its appropriate to ask on a TV show. She should get better for her family, not for the nosy public.
Not at all . I'm. Not as thin but slimmer than most friends and I eat lots especially cakes ect .I dont go to gyms ..some are just slim. People .why dont come. Get that...it has nothing to do with ceb
There is nothing wrong with Victoria...she had made a massive success of her life without having to steal or con !...anyone disliking her is JEALOUS of her fame and wealth!.. I think she should be very proud of all she has achieved!
THIS MOMENT IS IN V.B's AUTOBIOGRAPHY!!! I quote: "...and no I wasn't anorexic. At this point, Clarissa Dickinson-Wright turned to me and said something along the lines of so do you eat anything except lettuce leaves? And everybody laughed. And I wanted to stick up for myself and yet still be respectful. What if I'd turned round and said to her "so do you eat anything except chips and pizza?" Imagine the public outcry! You're allowed to take the piss out of being thin but you're not allowed to..
Shes seems like a sweet woman. I never did get the flack she gets for being famous. She has never done anything wrong or anything inappropriate as other celebs have.
that's a really mean thing to say about ethiopians.the ethiopians that are as skinny as her don't have any food to eat.they don't deliberately starve themelves.they're suffering from poverty and it's really not considerate of you to compare them to her.
omg everyone shut up!!! Victoria Beckham is a beautiful woman, and she looks amazing then and now... and what is ur problem if u r commenting poorly on this... do u hav nothing else to do?!
i wouldn't have believed i actually liked anything about her but i have to say i LOVE her voice! so beautiful and soothing...(I'm hearing it for the first time) does she have a posh accent? (I'm from Germany so I can't tell)
yes but she shouldn't encourage her fans that being stick thin is desireable - its very irresponsible. By the way, she puts herself in the public eye so we have every right to judge her - its part of being a celebrity.
1/2 There are individuals out there (many unheard of) who have spent their lives fighting oppression, helping the vulnerable, who have put the needs of others first and have tried so hard to make the world a better place for their fellow humans. From mother Teresa who spent here entire life protecting children in the slums of Calcutta, to the 100's of unknown scientists who have dedicated themselves to ridding the world of diseases. From volunteers who run support .....
@As I said I lost so much weight after I had my son, and this is normal. I feel she is a good person, who is very maligned. She is the mum of four kids now I think and does deserve respect. Our society is sick, I agree, but in her case1 I do not sense people idolise her thiness, because people r becoming more aware of how weight issues are manipulated to sell clothes, makeup etc.
even if she did put on weight...she would then get critized for that, she cant win. dont know why people cant just leave her alone. people call her arrogant and miserable.. wudnt you be miserable if you had cameras in your face, with people shouting at you?and its not like we know her....so who are they to say she is arrogant. she is better then alot fo other celebritys out there like Jordan. the best thing she does, is that she just gets on with her life and ignores the storys. Love her!
Really nice interview. She comes across as balanced and quite down to earth.Very different from what the alot of people perceive her to be eg 'stuck up', 'up her own arse' etc
i thought victoria beckham got in with david beckham while the spice girls were popular as a simple way to guarantee a good future.but interviews like this make me like her with each one i watch.good for you,girl.and good luck.
@Beccies it is terribly rude sometimes but some people need a wake up call too. if you claim to care you also have to be truthful and let someone you care about know what is not good.
I WANT to like Posh, I WANT to believe her... but some of this "we don't want to be in the newspapers", "this is just the way I look now... it's hereditory"... it doesn't seem genuine. However, Posh has made her life work for her, she knew what she wanted, how she could achieve it and doesn't give one what anybody else thinks of her. I take my hat off to her for that, but I doubt her sincerity.
oh ty. because i first heard the term when i was watchin "AbFab" (i got the first 4 seasons on DVD, amazong show) and it was the episode where Suphie wrote a play, and said that Eddie was two stone overweight, and then Eddie goes "ONE STONE!". lol, ive been wonderin what that meant for a couple years now. ty.
she seems like a perfectly normal nice down to earth girl, i think personally that shes too thin, but it is possible to lose weight after having kids, usually you put it on, but some "lucky" women become thinner so maybe she is being honest and she looks perfectly healthy to me....i think people should leave her alone!!
Yeah totally agree. I am sorry but a woman her height and age, CANNOT eat 3 meals a day with snacks in between and LOOK LIKE THAT!!!! It is impossible unless you are like 5.10 in height! I bet she only eats like one meal a day, and pushes her food around at that, even today.
6' 150lbs here. Pour concret for a living, I eat once a day - beacause thats how I like to...skinny as a rake, not anorexic. Never get sick. Never miss work. Carry bags of concrete half my weight up ladders day after day...did I mention I'm male? My mother was thin like Victoria. Leave the poor girl alone. I run circles around the fat muscle heads at work, and get paid more then the others because of it.
@VinnyMonster1 I work with a lady who said that! She said she was "big" before she had her daughter but after she gave birth she lost tons of weight mysteriously. Maybe it's the breastfeeding or something, I don't really know. It's strange how everyones bodies react different to certain situations. My grandma compares me to my skinny sister by saying, "it must be hard for you to watch her eat whatever she wants and not gain weight" Rude, right??
Also if you look at her face,she is being honest.She isnt lieing.All of you people do not know her so dont fucking judge her by the way she is. Everyone has problems.But atleast she has a great family to back her up.
Gosh! watching this interview makes me realise how politically correct the world has become and rightfully so! Cannot imagine a host asking such intrusive questions in this day and age.
she's susch a liar. I use to tell exactly the same when I was anorexic : "I eat really healthy 4 times a day, don't understand why I lost weight, of course it worries me but my body is like that,..." and all that crap. It's crazy how similar our versions where. of course she is on a strict diet, just looking at her old pictures back in the spice girls day, she looked great. She used to be my favorite of the bunch.
@madelena1234 I never said it wasn't normal. I was and am talking about her weight staying as it is. People clearly idolize her for her thinness, I have too when I was trying to reach an unhealthy weight. I do agree with you that she's a good person and a dedicated mother, nobody can deny that.
this seemed like an interrogation.. what do you eat? are you anorexic? and what did the doctor say? some people are just built differently. if you eat small meals throughout the day your stomach actually shrinks down to its natural size.
no... You gene can influence your bio-chemistry which will influence how fast your metabolism is. But that is only one factor to influence your metabolism. The amount of muslce you have, what you eat, how often you eat, your age, how active you are, and whether or not you do strength training determines your metabolism. It's not left to genetics alone.
...say anything about people being fat. She was actually a nice woman - a natural comedian. So I took it with a pinch of salt. But it was hard to defend myself. Overall though it went well. Michael Parkinson is one of nature's gentlemen. He's not trying to trip you up, like some of the younger interviewers who this that making you feel small will make them look big... As a very thin person I know exactly what it feels like to constantly face 'banter'about my weight while being fat 'isnt a joke'
@icatchlife - I would say it's just as bad as accusing an overweight person of eating junk food. I actually gained weight from drinking alcohol when I went through some trauma. I was on a no-carb diet the entire time I drank, eating extremely well except that I was drinking vodka every night, vodka BY ITSELF with water chaser. And people assume I was eating mcdonalds and cookies everyday.
Hate to see this woman being interrogated about what she eats or how much does she weigh, what dress size is she. What a miserable existence being too afraid to even go to the toilet. Whenever her name was mentioned during this time her weight was the first thought or comment at the mere mention of her name. Sounds as if it all got in head at some stage to the point where she felt she had to go and get herself checked out. People should mind their own business. If she had a problem she would have gone to her husband not the nearest journalist. I'm glad now in 2019 her weight isn't referred to anything like it was. She's known for a lot more than a number on a set of scales that's for damn sure. Who'd have thought back then she'd end up one of the top fashion designers in the world a credible one at that not some celebrity who just put their name on some naff range.
actually i can. i don't know how skinny you are though but some VERY skinny girls think they're fat. i mean skinny as in you can really tell the person is not healthy or their BMI is not satisfying. i don't really think you understood my point.
She's toned and athletic, not "anorexic". It's sad. If she were anorexic she wouldn't have been able to have babies. Stop being jealous and leave her alone.
I think it is very rude and immature to claim someone has an eating disorder and they may not. We dont know what she does in her personal life and need to mind our own business, I believe that people are naturally all different sizes love yourself and leave others alone!!!
Well done Victoria - you answered every question honestly and genuinely. I think she handles her fame perfectly. Such a lady. I bet she is a fantastic mother. Wish the tabloids would leave her in peace.
She is so intelligent, super well spoken, strong ,powerful and therefore Superior !!!!!
i adore Her !!!!!
It's sad if she really is ok . People think it's rude to say someone if fat but not that they are skinny.

That was so disrespectful towards her. I'm impressed how well she handled everything.
@@LuCa-nn4wnWho is the man next to her??

It's all jealousy
Tell that to the people that work under her.
her accent is killing me.. thumbs up if you can listen to her talk forever

Victoria IS a lovely lady....and level headed....in her very topsy turvy world!
Best wishes to her and her family.

she's lying. you can see she evades the question "what do you eat?" she wouldn't say, she evaded
i thought victoria beckham got in with david beckham while the spice girls were popular as a simple way to guarantee a good future.but interviews like this make me like her with each one i watch.good for you,girl.and good luck.
When did this first air?
@Beccies it is terribly rude sometimes but some people need a wake up call too. if you claim to care you also have to be truthful and let someone you care about know what is not good.
first time in my life I hear her voice! ;)
i honestly dont think victoria is anorexic she is just very slim, i've seen anorexic girls before and trust me victoria isn't
"What do you eat?" "Breakfast, lunch and dinner" what a dope! I think she meant food not meals. ;-)
Victoria is brilliant, love her
Rest In Peace MIchael Parkinson!
She had an absolutely perfect Karen haircut
I think she eats regularly but she probably has a strict fitness routine which keeps the weight off. If the doctor says she's fine, she's fine imo.
She Is perfection 💅❤️
Flippin love Clarissa!
She is sooooo gorgeous!!
I think they are the best couple. They are the 1st n d last of each other.. So sweet :D

i usually don't like short hair on girls, but i think it totally suits her. she is so cute!
it really suits her
LOL! u second that
what does that mean at 6:20? she says, i would've been " "?
@2112murphy She is so charismatic, real, and (I believe) honest. I'm not a foot-ball fan or a spice girls fan but I love Victoria.
she seems like a perfectly normal nice down to earth girl, i think personally that shes too thin, but it is possible to lose weight after having kids, usually you put it on, but some "lucky" women become thinner so maybe she is being honest and she looks perfectly healthy to me....i think people should leave her alone!!

that's true...i have so many friends who lost weight from breastfeeding, and they had a hard time to keep their weight up.
she carries herself well
wow LOVE this woman!

right, and this interview was years ago
she looks amazing here 😍😘

it affects spice gurls ??
that band passed away years ago
first time in my life I hear her voice! ;) when she doesn't sing of course
Who's the big woman on the right in the interview??
Who cares, she's fat. We don't pay attention to obese fat people
"how many lettuce leaves?" lol
who are the two other persons??? and why are they there?
this seemed like an interrogation.. what do you eat? are you anorexic? and what did the doctor say? some people are just built differently. if you eat small meals throughout the day your stomach actually shrinks down to its natural size.
if you havnt got anything nice to say dont leave a comment or just dont watch the video !
no... You gene can influence your bio-chemistry which will influence how fast your metabolism is. But that is only one factor to influence your metabolism.

i love her
why i do think of alistair mcgowan impersonating parky when watching this?
I think she is adorable
I know people that are like that too, but the thing with Victoia is she hasn't always been thin, so she's able to gain weight.
erm "the red head" is the one known for having had an eating disorder for ages.
MovieDrawings What difference does it make? Mel C also spoke out about suffering from one in those days.
she is beautiful
Wow she speaks very differently today on her instagram since becoming a designer- don’t get me wrong nothing wrong with improving yourself.
shes actiouly a gorgrous beautiful mum

She looks like absolute perfection here. That haircut in particular has been driving me wild since she first had it c 1998

Wow, this is just scary. Her arms are freaky.
This is so wierd!! Beauty IS in the eye of the beholder. The proof is in these feedbacks.
@spadesofgrey Looks like Paul Merton and Clarissa Dickson-Wright (from Two Fat Ladies). Paul Merton is a funny guy.
i don't know why people are all freaking out about it now, she was this thin in the spice girls too!
Meg Ryan should watch this. This is how you talk to Parky Meg!!!!
She looks much better now then she did than
she looks healthy and normal to me.

@downwithitall
I feel bad that she is being judged so harshly because she chooses to eat what she wants ;/
@Nutsymton
She is a celebrity chef, the still living half of "Two Fat Ladies". Clarissa Dickson Wright is her name.
'I got thinner after having a baby. Its hereditary' Seriously people
@europeintheworld ? what scars?
actually i can. i don't know how skinny you are though but some VERY skinny girls think they're fat. i mean skinny as in you can really tell the person is not healthy or their BMI is not satisfying. i don't really think you understood my point.

What the... £1.99 only buys a happy meal? I can get a double cheeseburger for $1 here!
you want to watch her and david beckham on the comic relief episode of ali g. she's laughing so hard she can barely speak.
Ok that's jus jealousy cuz her body is amazing and im sure most girls would love to look like that, i must admit i do! :P
I think it is very rude and immature to claim someone has an eating disorder and they may not. We dont know what she does in her personal life and need to mind our own business, I believe that people are naturally all different sizes love yourself and leave others alone!!!
what do they mean by "stone" when reffuring to weight? i know its a european term, cuz ive never heard it in America.
