I just finished watching the Victoria Beckham special on NBC, and let me tell ya, it was something else. The opening scene was of David and Victoria doing their photo shoot for W magazine. David Beckham was so hot in that spread. I keep thinking, “Make Posh stop talking and show more of David.”
My mom then sat down and watched the next 20 minutes with me. She had no idea who the heck Victoria Beckham was. I loved her comments, “It’s too bad she’s not pretty,” “Oh, her body is even worse than her face.” “Those little melons are definitely fake breasts. If she didn’t at least have those, she’d be really ugly.” HAHA!
The show was basically everything I thought it would be - a solo version of Jessica Simpson’s Newlyweds, with a British accent. Frivolous fun, and nothing more.

Your mom’s comments cracked me up too.

David Beckham is a distant cousin of mine in that his gran is my grandad’s sister. Unfortunately, his grandparents got divroced and therefore I’ve never had occaision to meet him, but don’t you think the Korean media would go slightly crazy if they knew he has Korean relatives (as in my son, his 7?)?

Wow, that’s totally cool! It’s amazing how a family tree branches out like that. Would you say you had any similarities (looks-wise) as him?

Korean people and some westerners say I look like Nick Cage…so nothing like David Beckham…sorry to disappoint you~~
July 18th, 2007 at July 18, 2007 - 3:15 pm
Nick Cage, that’s pretty good. I, on the other hand, don’t look like anyone famous.

It’s either Nick Cage or Kevin Costner both of whom I suspect are a good 15 years older than me so that’s depressing…I was racking my brains trying to think of someone that you look like but so far have drawn a blank…you’ll just have to become famous yourself…

In the U.S., a couple of people with very bad eyesight claimed I looked like Nicolas Cage, but the kids here in South Korea all swear that I am a dead ringer for some Italian soccer player.
You do look familiar to someone slightly famous, but if I tell you who you resemble, then I’d have to admit that I’ve seen movies of the adult persuasion. However, if I ever did inadvertently open my eyes during one of those films, the film in question may have been featuring women of a Latina ethnicity. Thank you BitComet. Oops. Hey mom, if you’re reading this there are many Johns from Daejeon. It’s a big place, so I’m the one who isn’t your son.

So you’re saying I look like a Latina porn star? I can’t decide whether that’s a compliment or not.

Have you been moonlighting?

Koreans are all the time telling me I look like Goldberg the wrestler. SO I just get down in a three point stance and yell “Who’s next?”
BWAHAHAHA
Of course my wife tells me I’m pi bah!
