Designer and ex-Spice Girl Victoria Beckham describes herself as someone who “desperately wanted to be liked” in a new three-part documentary about her life.
In the Netflix series, which debuted on October 9, the 51-year-old once known as Posh Spice recounts her battle to reinvent herself as a fashion designer after the British girl band split.
“People thought I was that miserable cow that never smiled,” she says, referring to her straight-faced public persona.
Performing had been her “dream”, she says, but when the band came to an end, she found fashion to be a “creative outlet”.
Beckham, who frequently becomes emotional in the series by director Nadia Hallgren, says she struggled to establish herself as she came up against a world that said, “She’s a pop star, she’s married to a footballer, who does she think she is?”
Former Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour admits to initially having her own doubts.
