Mickey 17 and Kevin De Bruyne (#17)

[nalari]

The director of the film Parasite Bong Joon-ho has a new film, 'Mickey 17'. (Haven't seen it yet, but heard it was good.) It was adapted from a novel called 'Mickey 7'. Why the change to '17'? Among other reasons, here is confirmation that it's because of KDB's number.

Korean-language video (turn on English subtitles, which are not the best but do the job):



The Koreans have their own nickname for KDB, 'Kim Deok-bae', by the way. Sometimes they call him 'De Bruyne' and sometimes 'Deok-bae'.

As for Bong, you can strike him from the list of famous City fans — he later mentions that he supports Spurs because of Son. Apparently there is also a character in the new movie called 'Timo' who is a bit of a charlatan, inspired by the misfiring Timo Werner.

Hope this is in the right forum — perhaps it might be better in the general football forum?

In the jungle celebrity thing, the vicar said that if he could be someone else, he'd like to be KDB.

"When posed what celebrity he would like to be, Richard was quick to answer: "Kevin de Bruyne. I'd love to be someone who was good at sport. I'd like to experience what it's like to light up a midfield. I'd love to be able to experience what it's like to be able to read a game. I'd love to be able to make goals, score goals

Coleen chimed in: "I've met Kevin a few times. He's lovely and a lovely family." Richard continued: "He's my favourite footballer, after Wayne Rooney, and not my team at all but I just love watching him play. I just wish I could do that. It's so different from anything I can do. Never gonna happen."

Watched it yesterday, not bad. Mickey 17 doesn't get as many injuries as KDB 17.

Heard his next film is about his beloved Spurs and their hunt for a trophy starring Win One Soon.

Mother is quite good but I think his best is 'Memories of Murder'. And maybe Parasite #2.
