Jude Bellingham says ‘my life’s a lie’ as his mum helps him get changed into custom Louis Vuitton suit at Ballon d’Or
JUDE BELLINGHAM said “my life’s a lie” as his mum helped him get changed into his custom-made Louis Vuitton suit at the Ballon d’Or.
Real Madrid and England star Bellingham, 20, collected the Kopa Trophy in Paris on Monday evening – the award for the world’s best young player.
The Ballon d’Or ceremony has always been a stellar event not just for football accolades but also for fashion statements.
And Bellingham took centre stage on the red carpet dripping in Louis Vuitton from head to toe.
In the run-up to the prestigious award ceremony, the midfielder was interviewed by Real Madrid while getting ready for the event.
The English superstar’s mum can be seen helping Bellingham into a custom black flared Louis Vuitton suit.
And the Real Madrid ace was in awe about the whole event and humorously said about the other nominees: “All them people are so mature, I can’t even get changed on me own. My life’s a lie.”
On Monday night he shared the stage with some of football’s greats including eight-time Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi, Erling Haaland and teammate Vinicius Junior.
The England international became only the third Englishman to win the Kopa award as he followed in the footsteps of Wayne Rooney and Raheem Sterling.
Bellingham has had a remarkable year after a sensational season for Borussia Dortmund followed by an astonishing start to life at the Bernabeu.
