Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard says he is relishing the relative anonymity that comes with living in Los Angeles.
After 504 Premier League appearances for Liverpool, Gerrard signed with Major League Soccer outfit LA Galaxy during the summer.
Despite his rockstar status on Merseyside, Gerrard is relatively unknown in America's second largest city.
"I couldn't be happier right now," Gerrard told Hello! Magazine.
"I've gone from not being able to walk down a street without being stopped every five minutes to being a Z-lister out here and that's cool. I love it.
"We're very lucky, I know that. I grew up on a council estate and will always remain grounded and humble. But this is mind-blowing.
"I've become a cool dad all of a sudden because I can take the kids out and no-one interferes.
"We can take them to the park, the beach, fairgrounds, water parks and be there for six hours and I might hear one person say my name and they're not even sure if it's me, so I just smile. The kids have been shocked I'm around and can do more things with them."
