A version of this happened to me when I was young. I was lucky enough to be invited to dinner with a famous scientist. I spent a good chunk of time pitching my work (looking for a faculty position). At the end of the night he apologized and said he was sure I was very interesting but he couldn't hear over the music.

Wow this could have actually happened:
Previously, Messi claimed he was too nervous to answer questions in English, despite taking language lessons since 2020, as per an interview with journalist Guillem Balague. "I've been learning English for a year and a half. I understand it, but I don't speak it," he said in 2021.
Funny, it really is easier to get the gist of what someone is saying in a foreign language that one has some familiarity with, but constructing a sentence with the correct words and grammar is a completely different game.
So very much this, I've been living in a foreign country for 6 months now and taking language classes. I can eavesdrop better than just about any other skill. Including understanding when spoken to directly.
Doesn't help basically everyone speaks English.
I think anybody who's bilingual or attempting to learn another language or done some duolingo classes can relate to a degree.
Reading/writing, speaking, and listening can feel like different skills.
No money or success will make you smarter.
Thats the only reason he spent 5 min w that annoying ginger.
Still would fit better in a Game of thrones episode.
He’s either a dick or a fool. I wouldn’t give two minutes to someone that’s okay being in Trump's orbit.
Messi or Sheeran?
Messi. He visited the white house not too long ago as PR for the world cup, and also to highlight the diplomatic ties between Trump and Javier Milei.
Watching Messi is like watching real-life magic. Doesn't even make sense half the time.
They're kind of similar looking, lol
What are You talking about?
2 legs, 2 arms.
The amount of limbs you have can be a very identifying feature I suppose
Forehead nose cheekbones chin. Face shape similar in my honest opinion.
These goddamn humans are everywhere.
They do have similar expressions and dimples, to be fair.
Thank youuuu.
Forehead nose cheekbones chin.
Yes, most people have those.
They just two boys doing their best
I just find it funny that Messi has been in the public eye since he was a teenager but nobody ever bothered to make him learn English.
Is your conception that the public eye is anglophone?
