My Take
What strikes me about John Carew is the sheer scope of his footballing journey: a towering Norwegian striker who plied his trade across six countries before pivoting to acting. That kind of adaptability fascinates me. Ninety-one caps and twenty-four goals for Norway is no small feat, and at 195 cm he must have been a nightmare to mark in the box. But it is the post-retirement reinvention as an actor that earns my respect most. Plenty of athletes fade quietly; Carew chose a second stage entirely. I find that willingness to start over, in a different spotlight, genuinely admirable.
