London
(ANI):
Recalling
her
days
before
she
achieved
superstardom,
Susan
Boyle
says
she
looked
like
the
dull
character
in
oil
painting
'Whistler's
Mother'.
The
1871
painting,
officially
called
“Arrangement
in
Grey
and
Black:
The
Artist's
Mother",
is
the
work
of
American-born
James
McNeill
Whistler.
It
shows
Anna
Whistler
while
she
lived
with
her
son
in
London.
"Oh
for
goodness
sake!
I
looked
like
Whistler's
Mother!" the
Sun
quoted
Boyle,
as
saying.
She
added:
"I
do
scrub
up
well.
Once
I've
got
the
false
teeth
in
and
the
hair,
you
know,
I'm
fine."
And
even
though
the
Scots
singer,
49,
can
now
afford
to
indulge
herself
with
luxuries
she
still
likes
to
use
public
transport.
Boyle
said:
"Well
if
you
don't
want
to
walk,
you
catch
the
bus."
