Victoria Beckham "cares less" about fame as she gets older

She told Harper's Bazaar magazine: "I suppose it used to be fun to go out and be chased by paparazzi walking down Bond Street - and you would dress knowing you were going to get that. I don't want that anymore.

"I've been doing this too long. I suppose I did when I was growing up but, nowadays, there's just too much going on; too busy; too many kids to worry about.

"I woke up at 50, and I gave a s*** less."

Victoria - who was known as Posh Spice during her days with the 'Viva Forever' group - has been married to footballing legend David Beckham, 49, since 1999, and has Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 19, and 13-year-old Harper with him.

In 1998, David endured harsh criticism after he received a red card for kicking Diego Simeone during a World Cup match between England and Argentina, and Victoria noted that she cannot imagine their son Romeo - who has followed in his football footsteps and plays for Brentford B - going through the same scrutiny now.

She said: "I mean, when it happened, David was the same age that Romeo is now. That's a lot for a 22-year-old. When you're in it, there's that sink-or-swim feeling, and you just get on with it. And we had each other, and the rest is history. But the thought of my Romeo having to go through it... I don't know how he would handle that. I don't know how anyone would handle that. But we didn't have a choice."
