"I went to see every angler on the bank to see how they were doing, to try to give them a few tips or whatever. But yeah, we had a lot of fun. It was definitely a good time and we're definitely going to do it again next year"
About this Quote
The repetition of “definitely” functions like a subtle PR stamp of approval, the sort of emphatic sincerity that reads as both genuine and camera-ready. It’s also the language of someone recapping an event for broader consumption: short, upbeat sentences, no specifics that could exclude or complicate, lots of communal “we.” Even “every angler on the bank” is a tidy image - inclusive, slightly old-fashioned, almost pastoral - that places him inside a wholesome, low-stakes British leisure tradition rather than the friction of red carpets.
Subtextually, this is modern fame management: warmth over mystique, access over distance. The intent is to make the interaction feel reciprocal - he’s not just there to be seen, he’s there to see others “doing” their thing. The closing promise to “do it again next year” turns a pleasant day into a ritual, implying community and continuity - the antidote to the fleeting, transactional feel of most celebrity encounters.
