The son of German tennis ace Boris Becker and German-American fashion designer Barbara Feltus has opened up about his ‘obvious’ good looks – and people are convinced the bold interview is a parody.
Elias Becker told The TimesIt was a “huge honour” to be named one of Britain’s most eligible people by Tatler, before candidly revealing he “just had to look at [himself]”To know that he was handsome.
The 22-year-old model answered the question about what his parents had told him about his appearance growing up. “No, I mean, they couldn’t really keep it quiet. I just have to look at myself.”
“But it wasn’t really something that I viewed as the only thing that mattered,”He said.
He described how his mother would make him feel embarrassed by telling his friends how beautiful he looked. “But, in the last five years, I didn’t really need any assistance knowing that,”He concluded.
Elias, who is studying film-making at Roehampton University, believes he made Tatler’s list because of his “charisma.”His exercise routine consisted of pull-ups and squats. “pistol squats”With stretching “a veggie and low-meat consumption” diet, before referring to Popeye’s love for spinach.

“Spinach may not taste the best when you’re eating it raw or anything like that,”The actor and DJ said it. “But I guess that’s what Popeye was trying to promote, or the cartoonist of Popeye: that we should be eating this food, you know.”
People baffled turned to Twitter. “This is must be a parody. I cannot take this guy serious”One person said it.
One more time: “LMAO, is this parody? ‘No, I mean, they couldn’t really keep it quiet. I just have to look at myself.’”
