Elias Becker, son of tennis ace Boris, has been named the fourth most eligible bachelor by Tatler.
“It was just a huge honour to have that compliment,” he tells @andrewbillen. thetimes.co.uk/article/boris-…

Did his parents tell him he was good-looking as he grew up, or did they keep quiet? “No, I mean, they couldn’t really keep it quiet. I just have to look at myself.” 
His mother, Barbara Feltus, would embarrass him by explaining to her friends how beautiful he was. “But,” he goes on, “in the last five years I didn’t really need any assistance knowing that.”
His exercise regimen comprises pull-ups, squats, “pistol squats” and stretching. “I also try to bring some t’ai chi to my practice.” He observes “a veggie and low-meat consumption” diet.
“Spinach may not taste the best when you’re eating it raw or anything like that, but I guess that’s what Popeye was trying to promote, or the cartoonist of Popeye: that we should be eating this food, you know?”
Elias believes in “manifesting, which means wanting something so hard you eventually get it”. He gives an example from lockdown.
“I decided I am going to make myself the most strongest I have ever been in my life.” This he achieved, he concedes, with a great deal of working out.
He agrees he has inherited his father’s work ethic. Is he like him?
“I definitely am. I think I’m realising more and more the things he taught me when I was young.“
