On the pitch, he is a highly sought-after star, but in private, he is helpless with many trivial matters. Bellingham admitted that he lacks certain abilities in his daily life. The England international revealed this in an interview with British Vogue.
"I can't cook, and I can't drive... I'm good at what I'm good at, but in other areas? Not so much," he said. "I have to rely on friends and family to help me get things done. A chef, a cleaner, my mom, or anyone else will do."
His mother, Denise, has been by the 23-year-old player's side since his time at Borussia Dortmund and continues to be with him now that he plays for Real Madrid. Bellingham's mother, who once worked in human resources, is now responsible for managing the family's finances.
His need for family help with daily affairs is clearly closely related to his professional career. "I work all day, every day. So, I probably missed the time to deal with those basic things. But one day, I will learn them," Bellingham said. He feels very mature on a footballing level: "But when it comes to life, to be honest, I don't feel mature at all."
Bellingham deliberately chose to be frank. "I feel now that it's good to share more of myself and let people know more about me," said the former Borussia Dortmund player. On Thursday night, he will be in the England squad for the first time with his younger brother, Jobe, as England face Croatia in a Nations League match at Wembley Stadium in London.
The attacking player admitted that he sought psychological help. "Last season really put a lot of pressure on me, and I became nervous and anxious," Bellingham said. "I started talking to someone about it, and it helped me a lot." He did not reveal further details.
