Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen was forced to explain his appearance during an interview with Papa Pinkus. The footballer stated that he does not use banned substances, as the host assumed due to his appearance.
Pinkus asked the Spaniard if he used weed. Huijsen replied in the negative and explained that his "high" look is the result of a specific appearance and so-called "sleepy eyes."
"So basically, for everyone watching, I have sleepy eyes, I have it from my mum. My mum has sleepy eyes. I'm not high, I'm sorry, I'm not high. We are not allowed to take weed. It's doping control. I'm not high, it's how I was born. I can't do anything about it," Huijsen stated.
It should be noted that the footballer, despite just having debuted for the Spanish national team, was actually born in the Netherlands. Fittingly, his debut game for Spain was against the Dutch.
This season, the 19-year-old defender looks very confident, which could soon lead to a move from Bournemouth to a more prestigious club. There are rumors of interest in Huijsen from Real Madrid and Newcastle.
