Rooney's Amusingly Awkward Advertising Moment and Luxurious Home Life Revealed
Recalling the Infamous Wine Advertisement
During a recent appearance on the Capital Breakfast radio program, Wayne Rooney was prompted by hosts Chris Stark and Jordan North to revisit an old television advertisement for the wine brand Casillero del Diablo. This commercial, filmed in 2011 when the brand was Manchester United's official wine partner, featured Rooney alongside his then-teammates Ryan Giggs and Patrice Evra.
Rooney's Self-Deprecating Critique of His Acting Skills
The former footballer couldn't help but cringe as snippets from the commercial were played. He humorously recounted his lines, delivered with a dramatic flair, about a 'new devil' arriving at the club, which turned out to be a bottle of wine. Rooney openly admitted that his acting in the advert was 'shocking' and 'horrendous,' expressing particular discomfort with being dressed in a suit and rubbing his chin melodramatically while proclaiming, 'We've got a problem.'
The Real Rooneys: A Glimpse into Their Opulent Lifestyle
This candid discussion comes as Wayne and his wife Coleen are actively promoting their new Disney+ docuseries, 'The Real Rooneys.' The series promises an intimate look into their lives, including an extensive tour of their magnificent £20 million mansion in Cheshire. This grand residence, affectionately known as 'The Morrisons Mansion,' was constructed from the ground up in 2022 on a sprawling 50-acre plot of farmland.
Coleen's Dream Home and Wayne's Simple Demands
Coleen Rooney spoke passionately about their family home, which they share with their four sons: Kai, Klay, Kit, and Cass. She described the house as the realization of her childhood dreams, emphasizing its symmetrical design with a central door and balanced proportions. The mansion boasts an array of luxurious amenities, including a private cinema, an indoor swimming pool, an underground spa, a wine cellar, and even a football pitch for their children. Wayne, on the other hand, humorously revealed his limited input in the design, stating that his only requests were 'a small little room with no windows' for gaming and a snooker table.
Personal Touches and Reflections on Their Journey
The docuseries also highlights the personal touches that make the Rooney residence a home, such as black and white photographs of their children, souvenirs from Coleen's time on 'I'm A Celebrity,' and a statue commemorating Wayne's goal celebrations. Coleen marvelled at the spaciousness, joking about losing her children within its many rooms, while Wayne expressed disbelief at their current opulent lifestyle compared to their humble beginnings in Croxteth, reflecting on their journey with gratitude and amazement.
