Watch moment Donkey from Shrek admires Jack Grealish’s calves before telling him he looks like film character
THIS is the unreal moment Jack Grealish was complimented on his calves by DONKEY from Shrek.
The Manchester City star is touring with the club in the USA for pre-season ahead of their season curtain-raiser against Manchester United in the Community Shield on August 10.
Their tour, which has resulted in Man City losing games to Celtic and AC Milan, saw them pay a visit to Orlando Universal Resort.
In a video shared to the Premier League champion’s social media pages, this tour ended up in a stunning interaction between Grealish and Donkey, a character from Dreamworks’ cult classic Shrek.
The clip at first shows Donkey telling someone next to Grealish that Princess Fiona had been eyeing them before telling them they were “dreamy”.
Grealish, 28, then asks: “What about me?” To which Donkey replies: “You’re OK. You remind me of somebody else.
“I’m trying not to say the F word but you definitely have a little Farquad about you.”
Grealish looked stunned at the comment, sparking some laughter among team-mates including close pal Erling Haaland.
The conversation then moves on to asking Grealish what he maxes on deadlift in reference to his calves, with Grealish revealing he doesn’t do that exercise.
The former Aston Villa star said: “Au naturel these.”

A surprised Donkey then questions whether he has any implants in them, with Grealish telling him no.
Grealish opened up on what it was like to miss out on England‘s Euro 2024 squad.
He said: “I’ll be honest it was probably football-wise the most difficult thing I’ve ever had to deal with in my career.
“I was absolutely heartbroken and then obviously when you’re on your holidays, every time you turn on the phone or turn on the TV or whatever you just see it so it was hard to not to see it.
“It was the hardest moment for me as a footballer, I’ve had a lot of ups and downs in my career so it was difficult.
“I did watch it but yeah obviously it’s difficult to watch because for me personally I was so desperate to be there and it was obviously very difficult.
“But for myself now, moving forward, I have to just try to use that as motivation going into this season.”
Earlier this month, Grealish and partner Sasha Attwood announced the wonderful news they were expecting a baby.
Grealish’s model girlfriend has posted a series of photos showing off her baby bump on social media.
Inside Sasha Attwood and Jack Grealish's relationship
Sasha Attwood and Jack Grealish are set to become parents for the first time, but their relationship started well over a decade ago...
The pair met as teens in Solihull, West Midlands at secondary school, with Sasha previously saying they have been together since she was 15.
Jack was already on his way to becoming a professional footballer when he met Sasha.
Despite the long-term nature of their relationship, she remained on the sidelines when his career took off.
However, intense interest in Jack’s private life came to a head in 2021 when England reached the final of Euro 2020, delayed a year because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Because of their romance, Sasha was cruelly targeted by trolls on TikTok and Instagram, receiving 200 death threats a day from “young girls”.
The pair were spotted on holiday together following the tournament and slowly began showing more of their relationship on social media when the vile trolling died down.
In 2022, they celebrated their 10-year anniversary and purchased a seven-bed mansion set in 24 acres worth £5.6 million.
They moved in to the home in late 2023, but Sasha and members of Jack’s family were subject to a terrifying robbery while cheering on the Manchester City star during a televised match just after Christmas.
Their latest milestone is Sasha’s pregnancy, which they announced on social media on July 7.
