Watching their documentary and he seems so immature and not ready to have a family, he also so sarcastic and stroppy with Chloe.

They just have a low level disrespect and resentment from what I’ve seen so far. He’s a negger you can tell.

Yeah I think Chloe is a bit miffed she's not more famous and he's just a tosser.

Wow, I hope he doesn't read the public opinion of him on MN! That would hurt.

HA ha yes was probably being too kind, a huge knob head maybe more accurate, hope she doesn't have another baby ,can't see it lasting. She also seems very child like and needy.

I've always thought he was a bit of an arsehole, thinks himself very amusing and very highly of himself. I watched the Rugby podcast he did with the Royals and he was embarrassing, zero etiquette.

Tbf Mike Tindell (who I really like) isn't a Royal who else was on it ? They probably just wanted to talk about Rugby so no etiquette needed.

WildFlowerBees · 24/10/2023 10:52

@Mrsjayy they had William and Catherine and the Princess Royal on it talking all things Rugby.

Mrsjayy · 24/10/2023 10:55

Ah right they probably just wanted to talk Rugby I can see Prince William being personal friends with him .

Watch it, was fun Princess Anne was great but Haskell just kept trying to talk about himself or make stupid jokes he had nothing to add.

He comes across as an oaf who finds himself absolutely hilarious.

0/10

WildFlowerBees · 24/10/2023 11:00

Oaf 😆

Mrsjayy · 24/10/2023 11:00

I definitely think James is all about James I can see him kissing his muscles every day 😄

FeverBeam · 24/10/2023 11:03

Is it a rugby thing? His self-satisfied personality reminded me of Matt Dawson who I find utterly charmless too.

ActDottie · 24/10/2023 11:06

Cannot stand him!

Mrsjayy · 24/10/2023 11:07

Controversially I think its a public schoolboy thing ! They always seem over confident and if they have no personality attached then it's not great.

Hooplahooping · 24/10/2023 11:11

Went out for a drink with him as a student after I met him in a bar. I didn’t know who he was and he literally told me to google him.. Man is just incorrigibly dull - i think lots of athletes who get super wrapped up in the game culture during their adolescence don’t really individualise - he didnt seem to have developed his own personality. It was all stock ‘banter’ and references to his rugby.

I watched it half interested and yup. Same guy. Just older..

Yeah, you're probably right. They do say that people emerge from a public school education with lots of confidence. Misplaced confidence in some cases it seems.

I’d like to caveat ‘boys who advertise they went to public school like it’s a legitimate personality trait’ - not all - plenty don’t - but there is definitely subset for whom the above is spot on!

But it's the truth ... although don't worry about his feelings, he won't ever take our viewpoint seriously as women don't matter to misogynists like him.

MrsSkylerWhite · 24/10/2023 11:16

Off to google “who is James Haskell”.

Yes sorry I didn't mean all boys now men but yes there is definitely a type.

bombastix · 24/10/2023 11:24

200 percent proof oaf.

BeverleyMacker · 24/10/2023 11:26

Where can I watch please?

FlamingoQueen · 24/10/2023 11:27

I think they were playing up for the cameras! I like them both, but watch it more because I’m a Richard and Judy fan!
I also think that their current ‘issues’ are very well timed when they have a series on tv.

His head and ego and arrogance appear much more impressive than his talent, looks or personality
