Aaron Chen, nekoč najbolj prezirana oseba v avstralskem nogometu, je zdaj presegla svojo sporno preteklost in postala znano ime tako v komediji kot v Hollywoodu.
Dogodek, ki je Chena spravil v sramoto, se je zgodil med prijateljsko tekmo med Liverpoolom in Sydney FC leta 2017. Ta tekma je bila še posebej pomembna, saj je predstavljala prvo veliko nogometno oddajo avstralske radiodifuzne korporacije (ABC) v nekaj letih. V tistem času se je ABC borila za brezplačne televizijske pravice za A-Ligo, zaradi česar je bil dogodek ključen za vidljivost športa.
Chen se živo spominja trenutka, ko je izjavil, da je želel sodelovati, kljub temu, da je vedel, da nima ustreznih pooblastil. "Vedno sem mislil na to, tudi ko sem prevzel službo: napačen korak je bil postaviti komičnike v predstavo v polčasu", je dejal. Kljub tem zadržkom je Chen sprejel izziv in našel veselje v nepredvidljivosti živo oddajanje.
Vrhunec Čenovega segmenta je prišel, ko je slekel majico Sydney FC in pod njo razkril majico z NFL temo, kar je šokiralo in vznemirilo gledalce v studiu. Čeprav je bilo to dejanje kasneje obravnavano kot mojstrovski udarec humorja, je sprva povzročilo ogorčenje med avstralskimi nogometnimi navdušenci.
Kljub nasprotnim odzivom je Chen pristopil k situaciji s smislom za humor, priznal absurdnost situacije, ne da bi skrbel za kakršnokoli zamero.
Zapuščina tistega usodnega popoldneva še naprej oblikuje dojemanje Čena, vendar to ni oviralo njegovega vzpona v zabavni industriji.
