Boris Becker's son Elias trolled for boasting about good looks: 'Need his confidence'

Elias recently said that it was a 'huge honor' to be named one of Britain's most eligible people by Tatler

Boris Becker's model son Elias Becker, 22, has said that his parents did not have to tell him how good-looking he is as he grew up, because he "just had to look at himself" to see. The model, based in London, is the son of German tennis ace Boris and German-American fashion designer Barbara. The duo divorced in 2001 after eight years of marriage. The pair share two children, Elias and his brother Noah, 27.

Elias recently said that it was a "huge honor" to be named one of Britain's most eligible people by Tatler. "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," speaking of his parents to The Times. He recalled how embarrassed he would feel when his mother told her friends how beautiful he was. The model, who is also a DJ and an actor, is studying film-making at Roehampton University.

Elias said that although he is not sure why he made the British society bible's most eligible list, he thinks it is because of his "charisma". He revealed that he mostly follows a veggie and low-meat consumption diet. His workout plan consists of pull-ups, squats, pistol squats and stretching, as well as some t'ai chi. 

Elias has also opened up about the racism he has had to face. "I don’t really pay attention because I love myself so. I used to take it in but you develop with age and kind of grow into your own person and realise who you are," he said. 

However, Elias is now being trolled on social media for his comments on his looks. "Find someone who loves you as much as Elias Becker loves himself," One user wrote on Twitter. "Funniest quote I’ve ever read. Elias Becker needs to pull his head out of his a***," another user said. One user wrote, accompanied by 'laugh' emojis, "I need to have the confidence of Elias Becker."

"The adventures of Elias Becker "4th most eligible bachelor" needs to be made into a 6 part comedy series immediately," one user wrote, while another said about Elias, "doggedly self-promoting scientists (we all know who they are) could sharpen their skills by studying this individual". "REALLY?
