One of my favorite gossip moments over the past several years is the now-annual tradition of figuring out what Victoria Beckham did for her birthday. When she turned 37, she looked at a fruit plate. When she turned 39, she looked at a cake. When she turned 40, she thought about brownies. Victoria is very, very conscious of her weight. That’s been the case for as long as she’s been famous (two decades!). She never eats the cake. She never eats the brownies. She might have a few bites from a fruit plate. And as famed celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck says, she’s really “uptight” about what she eats, even when she visits restaurants famed for their cuisine.
Veteran celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck has revealed that he finds Victoria Beckham ‘uptight’ and says that the star only orders spinach or other steamed vegetables when visiting his upmarket LA restaurant. Austrian-born Puck, 66, who is known for cooking for Hollywood’s A-listers at the Oscars ceremony every year, lifted the lid on Mrs Beckham’s saintly attitude to food…and her less than friendly approach to fellow diners.
He said that the Beckhams are regulars at his popular Cut restaurant in Los Angeles and while David, 42, will happily tuck into a steak, Victoria, 41, prefers just vegetables. Puck, who laid on the catering at the couple’s ‘Welcome to LA’ party in 2008 when David arrived in Calfornia to play football for LA Galaxy, told Heat magazine: ‘David’s there with a steak and she’s there with vegetables. She’s uptight. Everything has to be right, she’s not interested in talking to anyone.’
Puck said that while he enjoyed a friendly relationship with former football star David, who he could ‘talk and talk’ to, he didn’t feel the same way about Victoria, even suggesting that she has a ‘game face’ for public appearances. And when it comes to Mrs B’s food choices, Puck reveals his kitchen will prepare a simple plate of spinach, with just ‘a touch of salt’.
This is what I don’t get about being rich and famous and having access to incredible food: with that kind of money and access, just eat the incredible food. Go for an extra-hard workout the next day, or go on a diet next week, but don’t go to one of the best chefs in the world and ask him for a plate of spinach. That’s so WRONG. It’s a crime against food. And while I’ve heard that Posh can be friendly (or friendlier than people think), I do believe that she’s probably less friendly than David in general.
Puck also says that he knows of many celebrity women who simply stop eating for days ahead of the Oscars, and that Charlize Theron and Sylvester Stallone both love his smoked salmon pizza. And Prince Albert loved his chicken pot pie. Oooooh, now I want a chicken pot pie.
PS… Of course, this photo doesn’t help. Posh literally separates herself from fans with a wall of glass.
