It has to be said, Oprah's question was indeed sharp enough.
As everyone knows, Fly is not yet 18 years old, and he and Taylor have been together for three years.
This directly leads to a question: was Fly over 14 years old when he was with Taylor?
Because the span of three years is from three years and one day to three years and three hundred and sixty-four days.
Subtracting three years and three hundred and sixty-four days from an age under 18, it is indeed possible that Fly was under 14 when he was with Taylor.
Of course, being under 14 is just being under 14; it's just puppy love, which isn't a big issue.
But if Fly had sexual relations with Taylor while he was under 14, that would be a huge problem.
You should know that under the laws of the United States, having sexual relations with a minor under the age of 14 is an illegal act, and regardless of whether the other party is willing, it is treated as rape.
So if Taylor and Fly had sexual relations at the beginning of their relationship, it would result in Taylor committing a crime.
Thinking of this, Fly couldn't help but give Oprah a deep look.
This woman has some tricks up her sleeve, going straight for something so harsh right from the start?
"Taylor and I got together in 2007, and I was born in 1992, so no matter how you calculate it, I was already over 14 when I was with her..."
Fly was very calm about this question, after all, he did indeed get together with Taylor in 2007.
As for when they met, does that matter?
The law doesn't stipulate that a minor under the age of 14 cannot know a girl three years older than himself.
Taylor said irritably, "Winfrey, is this how you treat me? It's not like I don't have legal knowledge; how could I do something like have sexual relations with a boy under the age of 14?"
Oprah chuckled, bringing her hands together in a gesture of apology:
"Sorry, sorry, aren't there people on the internet wondering? Consider this me proving it for you, haha..."
A large part of the reason Oprah asked this question was that most people in the entertainment industry are those with low education.
To put it bluntly, if they weren't working in the entertainment industry, they would likely be street thugs or criminals.
This group of people has extremely weak legal knowledge and often inadvertently does things that are actually illegal but which they think are not.
If it weren't for these entertainment industry people having dedicated agents and lawyers.
It's estimated that the legal mess alone would be enough to make them overwhelmed and have a mental breakdown.
However, Taylor is not an average person in the entertainment industry after all.
Born into a middle-class family, Taylor received a good home education from a young age, and her father even has a relatively famous lawyer friend, which has led Taylor to always be very careful in this regard.
In this life, with her relationship with Fly, Taylor will have even fewer problems in this area.
After all, Dad Li and Annie wouldn't let their future daughter-in-law suffer in this regard either.
Afterwards, Oprah turned to Fly; compared to Taylor, who often appeared on shows, Fly, the big star making his television debut, was the focus of this interview.
"Fly, we all know that recently you ran a 9.69-second 100-meter dash under the witness of the Guinness live camera; my goodness, this is truly an incredible result, and it's even more unbelievable given that you are not a professional sprinter."
"So I want to ask you, how did you do it? You should know that before this, there were only two people in the world who could run the 100 meters in 9.69 seconds: one is the fastest man in the world, Usain Bolt, and the other is our American sprinter Tyson Gay."
"Other famous sprinters like Gatlin, Powell, and others have not achieved this result."
"How did you, a non-professional sprinter, manage to be faster than them?"
Fly guessed that Oprah would definitely ask this question, after all, the deepest impression Fly gives people in the world right now is not that of a football player, but of running 100 meters in 9.69 seconds.
Even though he proved himself in front of the whole world, many people are still very confused about how he did it.
After all, it is obviously extremely unreasonable for a non-professional sprinter to run a 9.69-second time.
"I don't know how I did it; I can only attribute it all to talent."
"Actually, when I went to London at the age of 14 to join the Arsenal youth academy, I was already able to run the 100 meters in around 10.5 seconds; my current speed is just a natural result of my physical development."
"To be honest, I haven't deliberately trained, but I can just run that fast..."
Fly first spoke in a humblebragging manner, then pretended to sigh and said, "Sigh, actually, I don't wish I could run that fast."
Hearing this, Oprah, who was already complaining internally because of Fly's humblebragging remarks, immediately asked:
"Oh? Why? You know, ever since your 100-meter time came out, you immediately became a global superstar!"
Fly shrugged his shoulders and said with a helpless expression, "Because my main job is an English football player, and I hope everyone sees me more from the perspective of a football player."
"But now, when most people think of me, their first reaction is that I run very, very fast, and many people don't even know that I am an English football player."
"This is where I feel very helpless..."
Alright! I thought you had some kind of trouble, and it turns out to be just this?
Oprah's internal complaints about Fly went further; she even felt that this annoying kid came to her show just to show off.
"Haha... This is actually easy to understand. After all, how can the impact that English football players have on the world compare to a world-class sprinter?"
Oprah said this as a matter of course, completely disregarding the popularity and fan base of English football as the world's number one sport.
However, for Fly, who has lived in the United States for many years, he was not surprised by Oprah's statement.
Because on the land of North America, English football is indeed a niche sport, and native-born Americans rarely pay attention to it.
And someone like Oprah, born in the 50s, would be even less likely to talk about a sport that doesn't have much buzz in North America.
It was precisely for this reason that Fly did not speak up to refute her.
Say what is appropriate for the country you are in, especially in public; a celebrity's remarks should respect local customs and habits.
This is like when Saudi Arabia hosted the World Cup in 2030, fans from all over the world were not allowed to bring alcohol, nor could they drink alcohol in Saudi Arabia.
This rule may seem very inhumane, but these are the customs and habits of Saudi Arabia, or the Arab world.
You don't have to understand it, but you must respect it.
Afterwards, Oprah brought up the topic of Fly celebrating Taylor's birthday at Old Trafford.
Although they don't pay attention to English football, Americans are still focused on Fly and Taylor's relationship.
Even though Oprah didn't even know what Old Trafford was before this, it didn't prevent her from doing her homework beforehand.
"Fly, recently after a game, you prepared a birthday surprise for Taylor at Manchester United's home stadium in front of tens of thousands of Manchester United fans. It's undeniable, that was absolutely cool! Many girls in North America are now very envious of Taylor, and even many fans who originally thought you weren't good enough for Taylor have accepted you after this event. What do you think about this?"
Before Fly could answer, Taylor reached out and stopped him, gesturing for him not to speak yet, and spoke first: "Hani doesn't need to talk about this; I'll talk about it!"
Oprah looked at Taylor and gestured with her eyes for her to speak.
Taylor took a deep breath and spoke eloquently: "I know many fans are very concerned about my relationship, and I am very touched by this, truly..."
"I already knew Hani before my first album was released; at that time, he was only 1.6 meters tall, to put it simply, just a little brother."
Speaking of this, Taylor gestured towards her chest with her hand, indicating that Fly's height at the time had just reached the level of her chest.
This gesture caused the audience at the scene to burst into laughter, and Fly also chuckled beside her.
"At first, I just treated him as my younger brother; after all, his actual age is even younger than Justin's, so it was normal for me to see him that way."
"But later, as we got more and more familiar with each other, although it's a bit embarrassing, I don't want to deny that I gradually developed feelings for this annoying younger brother who was a head shorter than me and three years younger."
"Over time, we got together, and I even confessed to him first when we initially got together, so there's no such thing as Fly chasing after me just to live off me."
"On the contrary, I was the one who actively pursued him; this is a misconception many people have, and I want to clarify it here..."
As soon as Taylor said this, the audience at the scene immediately erupted.
Even Oprah's face showed an expression of disbelief.
Apparently, from the public's perspective, the relationship between Fly and Taylor was one where Fly actively pursued Taylor, not where the American sweetheart was throwing herself at Fly.
Taylor's words were equivalent to overturning their perception.
"Oh my god! So that's how it is! My goodness, it's truly unbelievable! Look at the audience's reaction below; it's clear everyone thought the same thing I did, that Fly actively pursued you, Taylor. I didn't expect the actual situation to be like this. Oh, this is a huge piece of news..."
