Ted Lasso‘s Brett Goldstein offers unconvincing proof that he’s a real human man
It's hard to tell for sure, but this new Instagram video sure makes it seem like Roy Kent is a cartoon
TV News Brett Goldstein
Earlier this week, we reported on a growing contingent of Ted Lasso viewers who believe that actor Brett Goldstein, who plays suspiciously handsome soccer man Roy Kent, is actually CGI—and we don’t even necessarily mean CGI like Tig Notaro in Army Of The Dead but CGI like Bumblebee in the Transformers movies or like Venom in Venom. Now, this is obviously ridiculous. The internet is just having a laugh (as they say in England, the place where Ted Lasso is set) and nobody really thinks Brett Goldstein is a computer-generated monster like Bumblebee or Venom.
Still, though, the conspiracy theory persists, to the point where Goldstein himself has been forced to break his silence and offer his “final statement on the matter” in an Instagram video that proves he’s an actual human and not another soulless spawn from the depths of Industrial Light And Magic. Here’s a link to his video.
Well now hang on… we don’t want to sound absurd, but… is it possible he really is CG? There’s something off about his face here, and the list of “normal human man” things that he does like rendering and buffering are actually things that a computer man would do. He just dropped his own smoking gun and he doesn’t even realize it! Of course, the clearest test of whether or not he’s a robot will be whether or not he can do parkour, which is a new thing that all robots are capable of doing (as of last month). Then again, nobody’s saying he’s a robot, at least until he invites the collective internet to the set of Ted Lasso to see him walking around and interacting with physical objects. Venom and Bumblebee can’t do that, but a robot could. So yeah, Brett Goldstein is made of computers. Consider it confirmed now.

We never see Ted Lasso articles on this site so this is a nice surprise.
Never heard of this show, I’m going on Twitter to check if anyone has an opinion about this show
Why would anyone be interested in knowing that?
It’s very good, not subscribe to apple tv good but worth a hunt down and watch. Mythic Quest is also worth a watch.
I was curious myself. It’s like the site is trying to AVOID this *air quotes* Ted Lhasa show.
That’s because Ted Lasso didn’t exist before this.
My God do you spend an absurd amount of time sarcastically complaining.

I wonder how the producers roped him into this.
I’d be it was his idea – he’s a stand-up comedian in real life, and a quite funny dude.
Haven’t seen him in anything outside Ted Lasso, but I’ve listened to a few episodes of his podcast, Films to Be Buried With, I like it so far.
Knot sure, but I bet the story is hi-lariats!
When you look at what American women have to choose from, it’s no wonder they are swooning.
let’s not pretend men in America have a great selection either.
This is true. This is why we love Canadian and British women in movies!
I literally never thought I’d ever see someone extol British women as attractive unironically.Pro tip: Movie stars are NOT an accurate barometer for general levels of attractiveness from either of those countries lol.
Canadian women, maybe. But as an American living and working in London for the last eight years, I can promise you one thing:British men and women are not what Hollywood promised us.
One thing I always notice whenever I leave Miami is just how spoiled I’ve been and just how ugly the rest of the country is lol.Honestly I’m not much of an international traveler, but I’d imagine I’d feel the same in most other countries too lol.
While I realize you’re making some ill-attempt at a joke about Republicans, there’s no one in this collection that would be considered “overly” un-attractive physically. They just look like mostly average dudes from various points in their life and from various lifestyles.Maybe try being better, and stop trying to make fun of people for their physical appearance.
he’s here, he’s there, he’s fucking vaporwareROY KENT
Keeley is vaporware?
AHAHAHAHAHAH
He seems like a nice Jewish boy and could make it as a side bar in the acclaimed Famous Jewish Athletes pamphlet.
Jackie Daytona has entered the chat.
I hope that we can finally put all of this CGI nonsense behind us and finally figure out once and for all why this “Lasso-Man” never uses a Lasso, even once. As an origin story it’s interesting, but we’re we’ll into the second season and he has yet to don the costume once.
It’s supposed to be ironic. Kind of like how we learn in Harley Quinn that Batman doesn’t actually fuck bats (or so he claims).
I saw this man’s face and thought, “I can hear his voice. I must know him from somewhere. But where?” Friends, he was in a single episode of Doctor Who, but he is very hot and thus I remembered him.
Every damn person on Ted Lasso has been in an episode of doctor who. The bartender is the head Slitheen
The one with the medical spaceship or something, innitI looked up which episode it was, and without seeing any screencaps of him in it, I knew which one he was.
Yeah, he was the hot nurse on the Tsuranga hospital ship that got got way too early in the episode.
“The internet is just having a laugh (as they say in England, the place where Ted Lasso is set) and nobody really thinks Brett Goldstein is a computer-generated monster like Bumblebee or Venom.”You must really overestimate the internet, friendo, because there are countless people who aren’t in on the joke and now legitimately believe that Brett Goldstein is computer generated.Also.. no one could possibly accuse that man of being suspiciously handsome. Maybe suspiciously HAIRY!
“The internet is just having a laugh (as they say in England, the place where Ted Lasso is set) and nobody really thinks Brett Goldstein is a computer-generated monster like Bumblebee or Venom.”Uh… have you not heard about the insane shit people believe in nowadays? I’m sure there are people that legit think he is CGI.
I don’t see what the issue is, he renders and buffers just like the rest of us.
