From being a "Red Devils" fan to sharing the same frame with Premier League rivals, "Bright" Vachirawit appeared on the London runway and coincidentally sat between two famous players from Liverpool and Manchester City. This image went viral, attracting more attention from football fans than his fashion style.
24 Feb 2026 GMT+7 A moment where different worlds aligned perfectly: Vachirawit Chiwarak, appearing as Burberry's Global Ambassador at the Burberry Winter 2026 show in London, was captured by cameras sitting next to two Premier League players—Curtis Jones from Liverpool FC and Nico O'Reilly from Manchester City.
The key point is that Bright is a devoted Manchester United fan. Sitting between league rivals felt like an unplanned "derby match off the field." Social media quickly joked that this was an image Manchester United fans would need to look at twice to believe.
The timing was even more striking since Jones had just been named in the starting lineup to help Liverpool secure a 1-0 win over Forest, while O'Reilly recently scored twice to lead Manchester City to a 2-1 victory against Newcastle. With their strong recent performances on the field, sharing a frame on the runway gave the image extra significance.
The same event also featured guests such as June Plearnpichaya Komalarajun, a Thai actress; Seungmin of Stray Kids; and Im Yoon Ah of Girls' Generation. However, the shot that sparked the most discussion was the simple photo of the three young men from different fields—acting, fashion, and football—who happened to share the same seating.
