We’ve covered Jack Grealish a few times on this website and it must be stated: the man is an absolute delight.
Sure, he may not be able to recognize England on a map, but who cares? He loves to have a good time, seems like an all-around good guy and his taste in film is impeccable.
Namely, Grealish loves the 1992 holiday classic “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.” We already documented his Kevin McCallister-inspired tour of New York back in December but now, he has thankfully spoken to reporters about it while on international duty with England.
“I stayed in the (same) hotel. You could get some mad room service, like 16 scoops of ice cream! Like what he got in the film.
“I’ve got an addictive kind of personality. The missus always says to me, even when I like a song, I just keep on playing it.
“I love that film, man. Someone had told me about it (the tour), so we went around Central Park. I’ve watched it so many times. It’s on every Christmas isn’t it, so four or five times each year.
“I didn’t get to meet the mad pigeon woman, but I never realized how much stuff had been filmed there, in Central Park. I felt like a right little tourist.
“I was in the back of the carriage thing and every now and again someone would say, ‘I swear that’s Jack Grealish’. I was saying, ‘mate, quick, speed up!’ I loved it.
“I love Christmas. My mum’s always made Christmas so special for me growing up, so I’ve always loved Christmas and I’ve always wanted to go to New York around Christmas time.
“Because of football we’ve never been able to. It was like a little bucket-list moment. I loved it.”
Protect Jack Grealish at all costs.
