[laughs]I'm gonna take my headphones,if you put them in it,it blocks out all thesounds on the outsideand it only plays themusic that you're playing.So these are actually come quite in handy.Sometimes to be at homethere's a lot of distractions,and definitely duringthat night before a game,it's better for me tojust get to the hoteland you know kind of a clear mindand I don't have to worry aboutthe dog chewing anything downstairs.And they really justthey stay in my drawerand it's part of my travel pack so.No one touches my travel pack.This is my favorite cereal.The best way to start the day,it's got everything in it.It's got dried banana, carbohydrates,a few nuts in there, raisins.So I used to be like literallyat the back of the box there in the corneryou'd see me swimming.I stopped doing modelingwhen I got sponsored by Nike,so must've been like about eightyears old, seven years old.My mom might still have the cut-out,'cause she's probably got it somewhere.I used to eat about seven oreight bowls of cereal a day.Like after school I'd eat cereal, cerealuntil my mom got home from work,dinner and then cereal,cereal before I went to bed.I used to put loads of sugar in it,rather than going to the shopand getting sweets and stuff.I just run home quicklyand make a bowl of cerealand then head back out.But I did have to slow down'cause I was eating it too muchBut now I have that with fruit and fiberso this has got to come with me.So the next one I havegot my favorite book,it's called Relentless FromGood To Great To Unstoppable.And someone recommended it to mewhen I was about 18 years old.I've read it three or four timesand I've learned somethingdifferent every time I read it.Can you see the lines on there?So I like to have a pen with meand I can write out whichbits I want to improve onor which bits I feel like I got already.I think for me in terms of mentally,which is something that in my profession,it has to be as good as it can bethis book definitely taught me a lot,so I take this book with me, 100%.This is Louis Vuitton, this one.It's keeping in good shape,it's got everything I need in here.I've got my brush, I've got my comb,my afro comb because quarantinemy hair's been getting long.Shower gel, my sponge, andthen toothpaste and toothbrush.It's just for travel reallyso what I have in here, Ihave another in my bathroom.So when I'm at home I don'tactually use these ones.You get used to it, traveling all the timeI've got to prepare myself previouslyotherwise I'll forget things,I'd even forget my passport,so I have to make surethat's out and ready.It keeps my essentials ready for me.So I've got my these are actuallyan old pair of football boots.I think they were from 2018,I probably played certaingames in these bootsand that's the reason whyI kept them in the house.Yeah I've kept these onesand these are the ones I use likeif I'm having to kick aroundor something like that.I just throw these ones on.- How do they smell?- They're actually not that bad'cause they've not beenworn that many times,I have boots for games, butseparate boots for training.So I can imagine my training onesaren't smelling too good,but these ones are all right.Do you actually want me toshow you the most iconic ones?One sec, let me get them.There's a famous footballer,Brazilian Ronaldo,but yeah it says 2016,he picked four or five playersto wear sort of a replicaprint of his bootsthat he wore in '98.And then I've got a picture on the backof me wearing them in the game.The other ones in there as well.I kind of kept both of them'cause this actually comes off.So these boots have only everbeen worn once in that gameand then I put them in this boxand I've never worn them again.It's actually still mud on the bottom.No one can put these on againnow, they're too special.You know it's one of them thingsas soon as somebody comes in your house,they want to look atit and know what's whatand sometimes they want to touch it,and I don't like people doing that,so I need to put it in a more quiet place.I know I'm gonna lockthem away in my safe.Up.Good boy.So this is my final piece to my puzzle.Yeah he's a Cane Corso,he's an Italian Mastiff.They're naturally quite good guard dogsso you can have themand you don't really need to train them,but this one's been trained.Sit.And I've always had a dog in my familybut this one is my probably first dog,that I've actually looked afterand sort of brought upand he's been around me all his life.He's about four years old now.Got him when he was three months old,he really is a dog thatanybody can be aroundif you get to know him.But then at the same time,he's obviously trained to protectthe people that he loves,so yeah definitely bring this guy with me.Okay guys my time is up.Thank you for having me GQ andthese are my 10 essentials.Everybody stay safe.
