Famous Japanese soccer player Keisuke Honda apologized for his adorable slip up during an interview in Australia last week when he mispronounced the word “fact” in an unfortunate way.
At one point during his talk with reporters last week, Honda told them “I have to take care of myself. It’s bad but it’s real, it’s fact.” A brief moment of silence clouded the event venue before Melbourne Victory’s head coach Kevin Muscat stepped in to clear the air saying, “Fact. Fact issue,” according to SoraNews24.

At that point, Honda realized he’d mispronounced the word. What the English-speaking audience had heard instead was “it’s bad but it’s real, it’s f*cked.”

Fact! Sorry. My pronunciation is maybe bad,” Honda said soon after realizing he made a mistake.
