Victoria Beckham on the eve of her 50th, is grimacing her way through most of The Sundays, she's even in the ST Style Magazine which is a load of rubbish at the best of times. Posing as usual with her signature glower as if she's about to be dispatched off to The Russian Gulags. What is it with that woman that she can't even crack a faint smile.
I suppose it's fair to say that using influence to open doors for one's offspring is a human trait, The Beckham's are the very worst example though, they've monetized their kids and put them in the public domain from babyhood. Growing up is a difficult process, no one wants the follies of their youth to follow them around through life. I don't think being indulgent parents conspicuously handing everything on a plate and not allowing children their privacy, equates to being good or responsible parents.
Having said all that some children of the famous are not without talent, I've recently seen Eve Hewson, Bono's daughter in a couple of things, particularly Bad Sisters on AppleTv, I think she's an accomplished actress, no doubt being Bono's daughter eased her passage into acting, but she still has to deliver, and more to the point I think she keeps her private life out of the limelight.
