- [Host] What's your screen time on your phone?
Are you willing to share?
- My screen time
is just under four hours.
So I don't think that's the high, personally.
I think I've, I've definitely heard higher.
[upbeat music]
- Hi, I'm Trent Alexander Arnold
and these are my 10 essentials.
[beeping]
This watch is Patek Philippe, Singapore edition.
So, I can't remember the exact numbers
but I think maybe like 500 around the world were made.
I was lucky to get me hands on one.
After I win like trophies,
I like to kind of get meself a gift.
So this was after we won the prem.
We also won the premier league.
I remember seeing it just as we were
like wrapping it up, just as we were about to win
and stuff like that.
And I thought, you know red,
it makes sense to go with the, like obviously team colors.
I love the color, stuff like that.
Rare, so I thought if I can get me hands
on one of them then that's what I needed to go for.
So yeah, this is probably,
and I'm still not actually wore properly,
but it's one of them that whenever I see it,
whenever I think about it,
it takes me back to them special moments.
Yeah, I find like watchmaking and stuff like that
the intricacy is very interesting to me.
Where you can kind of see all the little bits working
and how intricate and fine details they are
is you know, always phenomenal.
[upbeat music]
So my next essential item is entourage.
You know, at the academy when I was like
trying to make it, and I always used,
like I always used to watch it
I used to watch it with my older brother
'cause I remember we used to share every room
and like we had this, this box set
and we just carry on watching them
and just re-watching them and stuff like that.
And I always thought like that's the dream.
Even though it was a different profession
and stuff like that, it was like,
just a guy who's got talent and his friends and family
around him and it's like, it's not just him
that's made it, it's the whole, it's the whole group.
It's like a family and I like to think that now
I keep that same mentality of like the people around me.
I've got a closer, I've got tight circle,
and it's all of us together.
It's not just me who wins
or me who celebrates winning things,
it's all of us because all of us are part of this journey.
So I like to think that I connect
with the the series and I feel like it's kind of molded me
into kind of who I am now at at times as well.
These ones specifically was, it was just because we can't
it was the only thing we could kind of do.
We really only had like a DVD player in the room
and stuff like that.
So we had to like buy the physical copies
and and watch it that way.
So, and I've just always kept it with me, you know,
we've moved houses and stuff like that
but this is kind of something I've always like,
kept close to me 'cause it just reminds me of the times
of when we were trying hard to like make it,
trying to, you know, make our dreams come true.
[upbeat music]
My footy boots, kind of essential really.
Now these, these are a brand new model, brand new.
So I haven't really worn them in games yet
but they're the ones that I'm like training
in and stuff like that to get used to.
And then, you know, eventually I'll slip into them
into a game and hopefully I'll see some sparks fly.
Like two days before a game, three days before a game,
someone will try on a new pair of boots
and then they'll have a bad session
and they'll blame the boots
and it'll be like I can't wear them boots now
because I'm gonna have a bad game in them as well.
But I'm not superstitious like that, it's always what it is.
I don't really feel like, the boots are kind of just a tool.
I feel like if you have a bad session, you have a bad game.
It is what it is.
It's not because of your boots.
Whether I have a bad first session
or a bad first game in them, it is what it is.
and I'll eventually go to and go for me.
I like to think I'm quite low maintenance when it comes
to like boots and changing them and how many pairs I have.
Like I just need one pair of boots to be honest.
I don't need like three or four pairs
in different like studs and stuff like that.
It's just one pair of boots is where it is.
I get what I'm given
and you got them, you play in them.
So I feel like I've just carried
that from childhood into what I do now.
[upbeat music]
My next essential item is my phone.
So I think my phone's essential to me because
it's kind of what I use throughout the day to, you know,
speak to people, speak to family, friends,
people around me, communicate with them.
Also I like schedules, timings the things I need to do,
remind myself to do things and stuff like that.
Everything's kind of stored on me phone.
My screen time is just under four hours,
so I don't think that's the high personally.
I think I've definitely heard higher.
Yeah, I've definitely tried to like relax
on on being on me phone as much these days.
I think social media can kind of just get you trapped in it
and you're sitting there and just scrolling and scrolling
and you're not benefiting yourself.
So I like to kind of make sure when I'm at home
I don't go on it as much as I used to and stuff like that.
So making a conscious effort to you know
spend more time away from it.
- [Speaker] And who would you say is the most famous person
in your contacts?
- I get that question a lot.
Who is the most famous?
I don't really have too many famous names Neil.
Um, Max Verstappen maybe?
Massive into Formula One.
Massive, I'm a huge fan.
I got to meet him as well a few weeks ago.
So that was, that was a special moment for me as well.
[upbeat music]
Bang and Olufsen headphones earphones.
I think initially what attracted me to them
was like, the cars that I was driving
and stuff like that had the the B and O sound systems
and I always found that they were the best sound systems
in the car that I was driving and stuff like that.
I found that, 'cause I like to play new music really loud
in the car.
So I always found that that was like the best.
And then once I tried them I found
that it was a good quality of music,
high volume, 'cause I like to listen
to new music when I'm going into stadiums,
when I'm like just getting pumped up
for a game and stuff like that, when I'm in a changing room.
So you know, music and sound is is very important
to the way that I get ready for games.
So I find that these were reliable
and one of the best as well.
Best music taste in the team.
Best I wanna say probably [mumbles].
Similar vibe to me, like R&B, rap, hiphop, kind of vibes.
Like old school, like nineties, two thousands kind of vibes.
which is I feel like is up there
with the best music that was ever created really.
A go-to for me is probably, I don't know
I like 50 cent, Eminem,
I'm into like me old school,
like mid two thousands, like rap, hiphop.
I'd probably say like Kanye, "Touch the Sky",
like you cannot go wrong with that song, cannot.
[upbeat music]
So my next essential item is my Theragun.
I was introduced to Theragun years ago to be fair.
I think just growing up you get like different,
like you get introduced to different kind recovery methods
like ice baths or stuff like that,
and then your foam rollers,
and then obviously like these kind of massage guns
came into the game a few years ago
and that was like the next step.
You know it just gets built into like your kind of routine.
Whether it's before training when I'm going into the gym,
or after, or when I'm at home, and stuff like that.
Like I like to travel with one to away games
and stuff like that.
If I'm in a hotel room and say if I'm feeling
a little bit stiff
or I've woke up with a bit of stiffness
and that it's just good to get it going, you know.
Stimulating the muscles and just kind of helps me get rid
of that stiffness and that fatigue definitely on me legs.
[whirring]
Probably straight off the game, my recovery would be
a little ice bath, maybe a massage, food.
Nutrition's massively important.
So there's sleep, and then the following day
kind of the same process again.
Oh, there's lots of different, different methods.
There's a lot that goes
into it when you're playing every three
four days consecutively, you know.
You need to focus on, on recovery a lot.
[upbeat music]
These are essential for me just in everyday life.
Anyone who knows me
and is close to me understands I'm massive,
massively about comfort.
That's my main priority, is comfort.
So you'll always find me in a pair trainers
or slides or anything like that.
When it comes to trainers and tracks suits and that,
you've got be coordinating your brands.
So people are wear like Under Armour track suits
and then like Nike trainers or something like that,
that's like, I feel like that's a big no-no.
I've never really been too fussed
about like colors and style and like that.
Like self comfort always comes first for me.
Honest, I like my feet to be comfortable
and that just eases me and keeps me nice and relaxed.
Hopefully we get our [mumbles] and trainers soon, hopefully.
So keep an eye out for 'em.
My next essential item is my iPad.
Yeah, I use my iPad for a lot of things really.
I think it's mainly because I travel so much,
traveling different games all the time.
I'm always in a hotel, two, three times a week, a lot
of the time using my iPad to watch TV
watch series, watch films.
I just, I watch everything I kind of watch
is on an iPad now.
Yeah, I use it for, you know, football
in that sense as well.
[upbeat music]
Red Bull.
Yeah, I drink this a lot to be fair.
Not too much because
yeah, we're not really allowed to too much at football.
But I think before games, before session, this is,
this is my go to drink it as I'm going out
walking out onto the pitch.
I like to get it in the system
and just gimme the energy to perform really.
It's big, it's big in my life.
It's big for the people around me as well.
Red Bull for me is the best I need to drink
so I drink it quite a bit.
I'm not massively into coffee to be fair.
I'm just starting to kind get into it.
I think the taste buds are kinda growing up a little bit.
So you know I'm starting to enjoy
the taste a little bit more
but I'm not quite a casual like drinker like that,
I stick to me waters and stuff like that throughout the day.
But it's more like if I know I've got
a big session coming up
or I know I've got a game
then I like to focus on like what my body needs
and just before I go to train,
or just before I go out to play,
I'll have a bit of Red Bull just to, you know,
kind of wake me up a little bit.
It's the secret.
It is the secret to the energy.
[upbeat music]
So my next essential item is my wash bag.
It's messy.
It is messy.
But aftershaves, deodorant, exfoliator,
toothpaste, that's it really.
I'm quite simplistic when it comes
to like grooming and stuff like that.
I like to keep it simple.
I'd say moisturizer is, like, I need to moisturize
all the time.
That's just something like I've just gotten into habit with.
That's my most important part of the routine.
Yeah, I like the bag.
When I seen it I thought that's nice and spacious.
Yeah, I'm quite big on like me bags and stuff like that,
and me accessories like me, rucksacks,
me holders, me suitcases, me wash bags.
I'm quite like a collector.
I like fire bags, I like the feel of them.
I like like the look of them.
This Goyard is, yeah, probably my favorite one so far
and I've got like the backpack that that matches it
and stuff like that that I wear.
So yeah, I like the, and it's big in spacious
as well, which is perfect.
[upbeat music]
