"In my private life I'm immature"

Bellingham admits he feels mature as a footballer but immature in his private life, unable to cook or drive and relying on friends and family for daily tasks.

Jude Bellingham has opened up in an interview with Vogue's English edition, where he posed for Calvin Klein, discussing the contrast between his professional and personal maturity. The Real Madrid midfielder revealed that while he feels mature as a footballer after playing nearly 400 matches, he considers himself underdeveloped in his private life.

"In football, I feel mature because I've played almost 400 games, but in my private life, honestly, I don't feel mature at all. I can't cook, I can't drive… I'm good at what I do, but everything else? That's where things get pretty ugly," he confessed.

Bellingham explained that he depends on help from friends and family for cooking, cleaning and other basic tasks, having missed out on learning fundamental life skills while focusing on his career. He also revealed that he sought psychological support last season to cope with the stress and tension generated by his professional life, which he felt was consuming him completely.
