Victoria Beckham says her successful fashion career and thick skin are the result of the bullying she endured as a child. The former Spice Girl has confessed she was “mentally and physically” abused at school, which lead her to strive for excellence and ignore harsh criticism.
Posh tells, “It gave me a thick skin. All my life I’ve had to work very hard for everything I do. That is just my work ethic – it’s in my DNA.”
However, Victoria predicts she’s got a lot more hard work ahead of her if she’s to maintain her status as a style icon. She adds, “I’ve got a long, long way to go and a lot of work to do. I will always feel that I have to prove myself – always. There’s always been people trying to knock me down. But I plan on still being here in 25 to 30 years time.”
