The US actress seems to have taken the former Spice Girl’s nickname a bit too literally and toiled with a vocal expert to mimic her.
‘We wanted the accent to be almost very Victoria Beckham, kind of very posh and sophisticated,’ said Gomez, 18. ‘I had a coach for two weeks before the film, so I worked with her very closely and then we had her on set guiding me.’
In the film, Gomez plays a down-to-earth girl who masquerades as a spoilt British heiress while holidaying in Europe. Accents are not all the pair have in common, with Posh, 37, rumoured to have named her new daughter, Harper, after a character in Gomez’s TV show The Wizards Of Waverly Place – a favourite in the Beckham household.
Gomez, who was in London this month for the launch of Disney Channel HD, also worked with British funny woman Catherine Tate, 43, on the new movie.
Gomez said: ‘She was amazing, she was so funny. Off camera she was always making jokes and making everyone laugh.’
The actress and singer, who is dating US heart-throb Justin Bieber, 17, added: ‘I was trying hard to keep a straight face – she would try to make me laugh behind the cameras.’
As for a duet with Bieber, Gomez said: ‘Not any time soon.’
