When asked what people often get wrong about him, Rooney replied that many assume he's not educated because he didn't take GCSEs. However, he's made a conscious effort to learn about various topics, such as black history and different religions.

Rooney explained that he wanted to have meaningful conversations with his teammates who came from diverse backgrounds. By educating himself, he aimed to better understand their perspectives and experiences.

Rooney hopes that people will see him in a new light and appreciate his efforts to broaden his knowledge and understanding of the world.
