‘Absolutely dying at this clip of Gary Neville seeming to discover what a holiday is’
There’s no doubt that Gary Neville was a hardworking sportsman, winning almost every major trophy in top-level football, including the Premier League eight times, three FA Cups, the Champions League twice, and a FIFA Club World Cup – all with Manchester United.
He may have left the pitch for good, but he has earned new respect as an insightful pundit – managing to remain neutral even when reacting to Liverpool matches. Top work.
In 2022, he spoke to tech entrepreneur and Dragon, Stephen Bartlett. for the Diary of a CEO podcast, where he discussed how he gets any downtime.

TikTok users enjoyed his revelation.
That’s called a holiday, bro.

Here are a few things people have been saying about it.
1.
“I don’t ‘eat’ I don’t know what all this ‘eating’ is that people go on about but sometimes during the day I will put some enjoyable nutrients into my mouth and chew and swallow them and repeat that process until the unpleasant feeling in my stomach goes away yeah” https://t.co/Lmzv2srVly

"I never sleep, people like you and I won't do that for ourselves. But I will give myself what I call a "mini coma" for about 8 hours each night. Just to recharge and not think about work" https://t.co/sZ6Xg7Rjo0

“Throughout the day, between say eight in the morning and one in the afternoon and again between two in the afternoon and six in the evening, I'll do what I call 'Mini Fasts'. Just a few hours each day where I don't eat any meals.” https://t.co/JOwhLfKqOV

Love that he thinks him and Steve are unique because they don't take 6-month sabbaticals every year

Probably where me and Gary Neville are completely different, I’d take 2 6 month holidays twice a year if financially possible. https://t.co/JT17GXLuCx

First time I've doubted whether Neville would make a good politician. I mean, can you imagine if Rishi Sunak had said this? https://t.co/KpbOusmOBT
