AIBU to be getting fed up with Michael Sheens motivational speeches for anything Welsh ?

I heard him shouting at the Welsh football team the other day. I asked DH who the nutter was. I didn't recognise him, he just looked like some random bum that had sneaked in.
The Welsh team looked nearly as thrilled as the US team did when Biden was on the phone to them.

He's a regular customer at the restaurant my son works in - he says he's great. Likes to sit near the pass apparently so he can hear the chefs banter.

Oh!

Where's this to?

Asking for a friend 😉

Yep, he’s so annoying. The whole Wales being desperate to beat England in the football is pathetic as well.

Do you not understand how competitive sports work?

Are you English OP?

The Welsh are allowed to have a voice, you know.

Well you wouldn’t think so judging by the reaction to Wales’ Ben Davies doing a press conference in Welsh.

ThePoshUns · 29/11/2022 14:46

I'm Welsh and he gets right on my pip, scruffy bastard.

justasking111 · 29/11/2022 14:48

He's a Welsh eccentric,. Does no harm . You hear them down the pub every week. I don't take him seriously

AttilaTheUOkHun · 29/11/2022 14:49

The World Cup has got nothing to do with friendship, or "bringing the world together."

Another one who doesn't understand what a competition is. The teams are there to win not hold hands and sing kumbayah.

Probablymagrat · 29/11/2022 14:53

Oh my lord, I adore him and the bellowing. I am one eighth Welsh, and apparently that one eighth is located below the waist.

Trees6 · 29/11/2022 14:55

I like him (I’m not Welsh) because I think he’s a decent bloke. I can see why people fancy him too. The marriage to an individual who is barely older than his daughter is questionable but she was a consenting adult I assume

BlueKaftan · 29/11/2022 14:56

I adore him. Although I must confess I married a Welshman so am partial. Also love Matthew Rhys.

LindorDoubleChoc · 29/11/2022 14:57

I heard his speech on the radio in the car on the way to work this morning. God, how bloody over the top he is! What a bloody performance!! DON'T YOU KNOW I'M A FINE CLASSICAL ACTOR?!?!? I felt a bit embarrassed for him.

I've gone right off him since he married someone less than half his age n all.

Mrsrasputian · 29/11/2022 14:57

He’s married to a 25 year old yuk!!

BringMeTea · 29/11/2022 14:59

I find the fact that his partner is in her 20s to his 50s extremely ick-inducing.

VollywoodHampires · 29/11/2022 14:59

I can’t imagine anyone enjoys Michael Sheen’s speeches as much as Michael Sheen does.

TidyDancer · 29/11/2022 15:06

I don't like his speeches (half ish Welsh here, not that it should matter!). He does give me the ick anyway because of the age gap marriage, but it's clear he's anti-English as well as pro-Welsh which I find off putting.

DuchessDandelion · 29/11/2022 15:15

I like him and his speaking out, but I don't agree with all the points he makes in his speeches. I also find him maritally iffy.

Wonderful actor though.

Gwenhwyfar · 29/11/2022 15:27

He's speeches are obviously for Welsh people, not English people so you're not really the target audience.

That doesn't mean he's anti-English though, some pp are finding out for the first time that some peoples aren't always happy about being annexed.
Seems to be a case of Welsh people are to be seen and not heard....

BT is apparently a Brexiteer and a Tory so I suppose he'd be more to their taste. (I suspect the child was his son though as many rich, successful men (re-)marry younger women and don't really care what older women think of that).

ClaudineClare · 29/11/2022 15:28

If he is anti-English then he must be anti his own child, who is half English...

Underanothersky · 29/11/2022 15:29

Yeah, anti English in the way feminism is anti men.

This and I am Scottish,something about his hairiness 🤪

Michael, raging.💔💔💔

vera99 · 29/11/2022 15:36

William as the proper Prince of Wales should challenge him to a fisticuffs duel. Whoever wins keeps or takes the title and the other shuts up.

Flooper · 29/11/2022 15:40

You can imagine him being a very enthusiastic hellfire and brimstone spouting rector back in the 19th century. Warning people against the evils of fornication, all the while enjoying tea and sandwiches and a bit more with some of the finer married ladies of the parish.

Why is it pathetic? Because we are shouldn't dare to want to beat the mighty England at anything?? In sport it's natural to want to beat the opposition HmmHmm
