Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard was left shocked after a bizarre encounter with a fan during a recent meet-and-greet in Thailand. As the former England midfielder signed autographs and took photos with attendees, a cheeky fan made a peculiar attempt at what he claimed was a "DNA transfer" onto Gerrard's 11-year-old son, Lex.
The bizarre incident, which has since gone viral on social media, was captured on camera as part of the event's security footage, and then shared on Instagram by Gerrard himself. In the video, the fan, who is holding a shirt to be autographed, is seen rubbing Gerrard's legs before taking out a handful of what appears to be sand or dust.
He then proceeds to sprinkle it onto Gerrard's son, who looks a bit uncomfortable and slightly amused by the incident. Speaking to reporters after the incident, Gerrard described being shocked and embarrassed on his son's behalf. He also mentioned that he found the incident to be "funny" and "light-hearted."
Despite the playful nature of the incident, many people have criticized the fan's actions, describing them as inappropriate and completely unprofessional. The meet-and-greet was organized in celebration of the launch of Gerrard's new academy in Thailand. While the incident may have made global headlines, both Gerrard and his son seemed unaffected by the fan's bizarre actions, with the former Liverpool captain taking the incident in good humor.
