Chelsea midfielder Billy Gilmour has admitted team-mate Mason Mount has nicknamed him 'Billy Balboa' after his exploits in training at the club.
The 19-year-old wonderkid also discussed modelling for Burberry and being the footballing 'lovechild' of Xavi and Andres Iniesta.
Gilmour was taking on assumptions about him on the new UMM Youtube channel.
The former Rangers player also discussed leaving Steven Gerrard's side for boyhood club Chelsea, and his relationship with Mason Mount and N'Golo Kante.
He said: 'When I grew up I was a Chelsea fan, I had a lot of strips of them. I played for Rangers and then finally got a move to Chelsea, which was a bit crazy.
'It's a difficult one because when I left, (Gerrard) just came in. But I would not change anything, even now I don't regret my decision to come to Chelsea, every minute I've been here I've loved it.
'I'm still a Rangers fan, I watch Rangers play and they're doing well. Hopefully we can keep up and win the league.
'(Mason Mount) is a good laugh, always up for a joke. You can see from his Instagram he's always up to something. He does call me 'Billy Balboa' after doing boxing when I was injured - Mason was filming me when he should have been working!'
When asked whether Kante still couldn't understand him, he added: 'That's true! My accent has changed a little, but I don't say London words like fam and jheeze. He is a great player, trains so well, always works so hard. After training he just goes home and chills, you don't hear anything about him.'
The teenaged Scotland U21 international also described his foray into modelling for British company Burberry, Frank Lampard's first touch and his hopes of one days becoming Scotland men's senior captain.
He continued: 'It's true - when I first came down (to London) I got a phone call asking if I wanted to model so I did. It was something different and it was enjoyable.
'(Lampard) has joined in with training a few times. He’s still got the touch, he’s still got it. He joins in the rondos sometimes and he’s still sharp.
'Of course (that's my dream). It would be a proud moment obviously, captaining your country and hopefully taking them to a major tournament soon.'
Gilmour also stated he was 5'8' rather than 5'5', admitted his favourite film is Step Brothers and jokingly claimed he could nutmeg a mermaid.
UMM is a sports publisher which brings together presenters like Harry Pinero and Chunkz together with professional athletes to give fans off-field access to players like Gilmour.
The new enterprise is backed by Derek and Cannis Holder, the founders of kids YouTube phenomenon Little Baby Bum.

And also, I've seen Tammy add to his game slightly, hes gotten much better at dribbling the ball. Yes hes not Pulisic but hesable to control it, get by his man and take a shot/ pass. Last year he was quite poor at that, but now hes added that to his game he has to start. This is what I would play for the next match Giroud Tammy Pulisic Kovacic Gilmour Kante Chillwell Zouma Silva Azpi Mendy
Tammy's definitely improved. I'd still have him as a number 2 but hes by no means a bad striker and the criticism he gets makes no sense.

This is one of the young lads I adore. The boy is so confident with the ball. And the way he chases and call for the ball reminds me of XAVI.

Yeah its unwarranted. Look who turned up in our moment of need today, the fanbases biggest scapegoat who even gets blamed for being on the bench, Tammy. Fans need to have patience, our squad is great but the pressure from fans is killing some players confidence, as fans our job is to try our best to up their confidence then if that doesnt work selling is an option. But some people after 2 or 3 bad games will talk about selling it makes no sense. Ridiculous stuff and to be honest I havent seen any other fanbase act like ours in a majority.

I love Chelsea, but if I was a young promising player I would steer well clear of them. The criticism is unreal.

Gem of a player, I really hope the fans dont turn on him after a blip cos reality is every young player has a blip in their careers but its fans support that gets them through it. Unfortunately this fanbase is notorious for turning on players who have blips in their career. It's sad really. I hope Billy doesnt become a victim of this love hate cycle.
