Ultimately, Kieran is 24, which means he’s in the sweet spot of adulthood where you’re both responsible and reckless. He can legally rent a car, but he’ll probably put the wrong fuel in it. He can vote, but he might forget to register because he’s busy arguing about Love Island villa drama on Twitter. In other words, he’s the perfect reality TV star: just old enough to be interesting, just young enough to be messy.
So there you have it. No deep conspiracy. No time travel. Just a perfectly average 24-year-old who happens to look like he could be your dad or your little brother depending on the camera angle. Now you can go back to your day, armed with the knowledge that Kieran is indeed old enough to buy a lottery ticket, but young enough to spend the winnings entirely on gummy bears. You’re welcome.
