Why is Ted Lasso actor Brett Goldstein telling everyone he’s actually ‘a human man’?

Amid rumours that he may in fact be CGI, Goldstein - who plays Roy Kent in the hit show - posted a video that raises more questions than it answers

Michael, a famous actor is being quoted proclaiming he is a human man' and not, as apparently alleged, CGI. What is going on please?

Steph, great question. There is a supposedly human man called Brett Goldstein who plays a grumpy footballer in the show Ted Lasso, on which he's also a writer. Unfortunately his face is extremely matte and slightly too chiselled, and there is something deeply unsettling about the specific shadows cast by his football jersey - which has led many people on Reddit to believe that he is not, in fact, a real actor but instead a CGI animation of a grumpy footballer.
