Speaking to GB News Alfie Best shared a sweet story behind his success: “We’re born where we are in life. We have to accept that and then go on from it.
“For me, I am a gypsy. You know, just because a cow is born in a stable doesn’t make it a horse.”
“Nelson Clark was the first gypsy that I ever saw that owned a Rolls Royce. And, a Rolls Royce is something that carries aspiration, and it’s British through and through and for me, I think those things make us British and make us great.
“I believe anybody can achieve any of their goals. It doesn’t matter where you are, who you are, where you’re from.

“What I would say is like the need to survive and thrive luckily was inbuilt in me.”
“I’m going to be honest with you. I didn’t think the film was going to get anywhere.
“Let’s be honest with you. I know the way it expects going to watch me. But for whatever people are taking from it, I can only say thank you.”
