Fame is a drug, ultimately.

And I think when you put yourself in the spotlight that much, and they are natural performers, right?

I mean, they know how to work a camera.

They know how to speak to people.

They're exceptionally media trained.

They're very, very careful people.

But they do crave the spotlight.

And I don't mean that as a dig.

That's effectively, not to sound all Roy Keane here, but that's your job.

That's the industry that they've chosen to be in.

And as you say, when the sound of the net rip

and the crowd screaming is gone what do you do and in Beckham's case it's to stay in that scene to a degree I mean I don't want to go too far off topic here but like you can't help but look at things like his 125 million pound 10 year deal with Qatar which in my personal view is disgusting and he really let himself down on that one

I believe, and then to try and also hold up the squeaky clean image of the best father in the world and the best husband in the world and this, that, and the other.

It's a lot of work.

It's an industry unto itself.

And I'd imagine like the last 24 hours, there have been genuine crisis management midnight meetings.

Great question.

And it's funny because like the Beckham documentary that you mentioned there was directed by Fisher Stevens, who of course is also an actor, who of course was also in Succession.

I wonder, was he in those crisis meetings?

Because that's what he did in Succession.
