Jude Bellingham may be one of the greatest footballers of his generation.
But as it turns out, Team England’s star midfielder’s basic everyday skills—or lack thereof—help level the playing field, bringing him closer to us mere mortals.
“There’s loads of things I don’t know how to do,” Bellingham told British Vogue in an interview published Nov. 10. “I can’t cook, I can’t drive. I’m good at what I do, but everything else? Not that great. I rely on my friends, my family to help me do stuff—chef, cleaner, mum, whoever else. That’s where I’m at.”
In fact, he’s been so busy keeping his eye on the literal ball—and doing a really good job at it—he may have lost track of life’s other skills.
“I work hard every day and all day, and then when I get home,” the 23-year-old said, “I’ve probably neglected learning how to do some of the more basic things.”
In his defense, not only is learning those life skills par for the course for many early twenty-somethings, but Bellingham’s daytime job also takes up a lot of his time.
