Roman Kemp on David Beckham's plea: Take care of Romeo, he is being bullied because of his fame.

Roman Kemp on his football status

According to The Sun: Roman Kemp believes that if unsure children (Nepobabies) were football teams, he would probably represent League Two.

However, his good friend Romeo Beckham, who plays for Brentford (Brentford FC), would undoubtedly play in the Premier League.

The two friends are passionate about football and have used their connections to bring in stars like Tom Grennan and Chelsea legend Petr Čech to their team.

However, due to their popularity, it is typically unavoidable to escape negative comments from opponents. Memes “borrowing” from the sons of David Beckham and Martin Kemp like this!

“We have a seven-person team that we call Netflix n’ Skills.

I was at Romeo's birthday party a few weeks ago, and his dad and family also came.

David is my hero.

He came over and greeted me, then said: 'Please take care of him.'

As for me, Romeo knows how to stand up for himself, because when he is recognized on the field, he takes hits.

A few months ago, he was aggressively approached when he was recognized; they really were picking on him. And the guys on the sidelines were picking on him too.

Even I faced this — a few days ago a stranger hit me right in the face.

I turned to him and asked 'What are you trying to say?', and he replied: 'It’s because of your fame, right?'

Roman added: “My dad always taught me: if you're being hit, just walk away. But it's hard.”

He also noted: “When it comes to Romeo, I told all the guys — most of whom are my school friends — 'DB7 said we need to take care of Romeo.' So we did just that. Football is an escape from reality — he shouldn't be a target because of his fame. But he's amazing — he just keeps playing.”

Active support for mental health

Unlike many celebrity children, Roman Kemp does not sit idly by, but actively works on an important campaign alongside the Premier League.

He is a passionate supporter of mental health and openly speaks about his depression that once led him to contemplate suicide.

Sometimes he is supported by the 'Together Against Suicide' campaign, which helps football fans who feel depressed. Roman is aware that he may face criticism from those who believe that the “beautiful game” is becoming “too educational.”

“Look, I'm ready to receive criticism for this. But I really don't care — it's not about me.

And unlike many initiatives that symbolize charity, I strive for this to genuinely do something useful.

There is meaning in all of this, it can really help someone.

The biggest killer of men under 50 in this country is suicide.

And one in four men has suicidal thoughts in their lifetime, and every 90 minutes (the duration of a football match) a man takes his own life.

Something needs to be done.”

Roman, who is an Arsenal fan, teamed up with Tottenham CEO Vinay Venkatesham, and all 20 Premier League clubs support this initiative.

Eleven teams, including Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool, Chelsea, Aston Villa, and Everton, will launch it today.

The campaign involves placing QR codes in stadium bars and toilets so that men can find local charities that provide support to those facing personal difficulties.

Staff and stewards have also received training to help those who may need support.

“Depression is rife in football — I'm sure many players take antidepressants, they just don't talk about it.

In our society, there is still a lot of shame, that's how it is.”

Roman also noted that trolling from fans leads to mental health issues for players: “My dad knows more about me than I do, and it really upsets him.”

He shared memories of his late godfather George Michael with a smile: “I know I had the most privileged lifestyle imaginable.

But one year stood out when I desperately begged my parents for a new bike, and my dad bought me that Raleigh from Toys R' Us.

I opened it and thought: ‘This is cool!’

Two hours later, George showed up with a big box in his hands.

He bought me the Batmobile from Harrods.”
