United’s ‘looker’ gets busy with JT, Rhianna and Megan Fox, passing on his moves and chowing down at KFC
We just tried to phone Robbie Cornthwaite, he-s dodging us..
Nah mate, he-s doing at the ironing at the moment.
Is he doing yours too?
Nah, he-s too lazy for that!
If you were going to make a four-piece band with your teammates who would be in it?
I-d be the singer, because I sing the most; guitarist is Kristian Sarkies, because he owns Guitar Hero and thinks he-s good at it; the drummer would have to be Robbie Cornthwaite, because he-s my housemate and he-d get upset; and I might have Ang Costanzo has a back-up dancer because he think he-s Michael Jackson when he dances – if we win the grand final he-ll dance on the field for you.
We-ll hold him to that – what would you call the band?
The Mick Tackers.
Worst dress sense at the club?
There-s a few bad ones… It would have to be Jonas Salley, because he wears a 2Pac locket thing around his neck. It-s terrible.
Paul Reid told us he doesn-t swear, is that really true?
Paul-s a saint; he-s a model professional. I call him a granddad because he-s older than everyone else. Jonas, on the other hand, has a mouth worse than John Kosmina; behind closed doors that guy can talk for ages.
If you were stuck on a desert island with one teammate who would it be and why? And you can-t say Robbie because he-s your housemate…
Nah, I-m not going to lick Robbie-s arse… It-d probably be Ang Costanzo because he-d make me laugh and he would find something for us to do: whether it-s fish, swim, or dance.
What three people – dead or alive – would you invite to a dinner party?
I thought about this last night… Justin Timberlake, because he can sing for us; Rhianna…
And she-s looking for a new guy at the moment…
Yeah, exactly, I-ve already dialled up a few times… And Megan Fox, because if Justin got one then I-d get one, but if he got both then I could just watch.
You-ve really given this some thought haven-t you?
Hahaha yeah I did! I had to make sure I got this one right…
What would you call your autobiography?
Time To Grow Up [laughs].
Robbie does a superhero goal celebration what would his name be?
BFG – Big Friendly Giant.
And his super power?
To be honest, he does go alright with the ladies, so I think he-d be a What Women Want kind of thing where he-d know what women want; he could read minds. I have kind of rubbed off on him since we started living together so I-ve given him some of my mojo and he-s learnt a bit – he-s going alright with the ladies. I-m trying to settle down with one girl, but Cornie-s on fire.
Yet to score on the pitch, are you going to come up with something equally unique as Robbie?
I thought about it, but games passed and I didn-t score, so I-ll do whatever comes to my mind when I do score this weekend…
Favourite TV show?
Entourage.
We could do an Aussie version with you and Robbie in it.
I tell you what, we-d go alright – we-ve got a few lads outside of football that go alright… Give it to that E! Entertainment channel, I watch that a fair bit.
Have you tried the new KFC zinger tower yet?
[Laughs.] Me and Cornie live off KFC, we-re probably there two or three times a week. I have the fillet burger meal with chips and gravy, because northern boys love gravy [laughs].
Vidi will kill you… Ok, moving on: choose between these two…
Mac or PC?
Mac, because I have a MacBook.
Blonde or brunette?
Blonde.
Tea or coffee?
Coffee, I love my coffee.
Finish these sentences…
The day after the grand final I will…
Hopefully still be celebrating with my teammates.
Next season Adelaide will…
Have improved on last year-s efforts.
My teammates would say I am…
Annoying, good looking, annoying.
I think AFW is…
A fantastic magazine that should be sold overseas.
A bouquet of flowers is heading your way. Good luck in Melbourne, see you after the game.
