England football star Jude Bellingham is among the best players in the world, but admits he finds himself lacking in life's most basic skills like cooking and driving, and often needs his friends and family's help since his hectic schedule leaves him no time to learn the skills.

The Real Madrid midfielder said he feels mature when it comes to football, but not otherwise. "I feel mature because I've played nearly 400 matches, but honestly, in the context of life, I don't feel very mature," Bellingham, 23, told US magazine Vogue.

"I'm good at what I do, but everything else? Not that great. I can't cook, I can't drive. I rely on my friends, my family to help me do stuff - chef, cleaner, mum. That's where I am right now. Working hard all day every day, I've neglected learning the most basic things when I get home. But I'm sure there will be time and opportunity for that someday," added Bellingham.
