“Not so much prejudice, I think that maybe before people knew me they would have had this opinion of me because they might have heard the way I speak in an interview or someone may have told them that this guy went to private school, and then they kind of create that image in their head before they actually know who I am,” Bamford said.

However, he also acknowledged that it’s not really a big struggle for him. Bamford won’t complain about it as other people have harder battles to fight.

“But I think that goes for a lot of things and I think people have harder battle to fight, and I’m not going to complain about that,” Bamford revealed.
