Posh says Americans treat the Beckhams like Disney characters

Posted Sep 06 via Celebitchy Sep 6, 08

Since she and husband David moved to L.A., Victoria Beckham claims that their family has been treated like characters in Disneyland - and she means that as an absolute compliment. Whereas other celebs might preface such a statement with original thoughts like We feel like monkeys caged at the zoo,' the paparazzi makes us feel like prisoners in our own neighborhood!' etcetera, when Posh says it she means it more along the lines of, We're treated like foreign diplomats!' or Strangers lay down in the street so my Manolos don't get sloshed in a puddle.' And that is why they all love Los Angeles.

Victoria Beckham loves the way her Californian neighbours always wave to her.

She and husband David, who moved to the States wit [sic] their three boys last year, says everyone in her neighbourhood is incredible friendly.

'They are very positive, the Americans,' she reveals. 'Everytime I come out of the drive in my car they wave like we're characters from Disney.'

And Posh loves being round the corner from pals Tom Cruise, 45, and his wife Katie Holmes, 29. 'We really like it here and have been made to feel very welcome,' she tells Hello! 'The kids are very happy at school, the weather is great and we have nice friends here - Tom Cruise is a really nice guy. All our kids hang out together and we live quite close.'

Fark pointed out that Posh might feel like she's a character at Disneyland due to her remarkable resemblance to several animated creatures. They mentioned Minnie Mouse, but I'll keep that to myself since pointing out the freakish resemblance would be rude. And certainly un-American, by Victoria's definition.

Nonetheless, what a strange comparison. I can't imagine a celebrity would ever think to make that analogy and phrase it like a positive.
