Watch: Gary Neville ducks Trump questions in Davos

Well, well, well. The former footballer and pundit Gary Neville has been spotted on the streets of Davos during the 2025 conference of the World Economic Forum. The ex-BBC presenter is not known to keep quiet about his views, with the former sports star keen to highlight his Labour membership and speaking up on British politics – without, most of the time, being asked.

But a rather baffling clip has emerged on Twitter, showing the usually-ebullient Neville refusing to take quite straightforward questions from a Canadian media outlet. The ex-footballer insisted he had ‘no comment on [Donald] Trump and [Elon] Musk and all of that’, said he hadn’t been ‘across’ the news of the new US president’s election victory and inauguration – and even suggested he wasn’t all that interested in American politics. How out of character – given how often Neville usually pops up to deliver his verdict on the issue of the day.
