janie48 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Andy Murray cried at the post match interview yesterday,and many people don't like to see an open display of emotion from a grown man,they think its unmasculine and wimpish. With Murray it has actually had the opposite affect and has made him more endearing to people. In general isn't this British (or English?) attitude of expecting emotions to be kept under control old fashioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wornout53 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I love a man who is capable of showing emotion. My dear dad who died 25 years ago was not afraid to cry in front of me and to me that made him even more of a man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteMorris Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 It's not unusual in this day and age. Remember Gazza? The Andy Murray episode yesterday, just portrays him as being human just like the rest of us mere mortals. He's been heavily critiscised over the years for being too aloof (and not smiling). Yesterday just showed him being human. Nowt wrong with that and no doubt his following will increase because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could imagine letting the nation down is a heavy burden especially when the nation stacks that burden on your shoulders as an individual. For him I guess the prize money had nothing to do with the result. A shame, but the best man won. As for emotions? To big a one to keep under wraps I would guess.

Someone on TV was saying about what money he's already earned, and it's something like 13 million. So, although the money would always be welcome, it's the kudos of winning (or prospect of in his case) a grand slam, and especially Wimbledon.

Mecky Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Emotion? Maybe he blubbed because he lost £600K. I know someone who feel sick losing a penny down the drain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickiethecat Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 There's nothing wrong with a man displaying his emotions in private with his loved ones. But celebrities crying in public to show how emotional they are is just contrived and pathetic. And yes I do include Andy Murray in that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
