“When I watched it, I felt like – there’s a lot more like – everywhere you went, there would be like – cameras [all up] in your face. People waiting in [queues]… Whereas, nowadays, I don’t really think we have that. Because, you know, fans can say what they want on social media,” Grealish further asserted.
