After signing as a Galaxy player in the United States, Javier Hernández moved to that country, where also when with a significant number of fans; for this reason, James Corden took the opportunity to invite him to his program and made him reveal the origin of the Chicharito, his famous nickname.

"It's because of my dad," Hernandez explained on The Late Late Show with James Corden. "My nickname is the chicharito, my father is the Pea".

In fact, his father is also a former soccer player and bears the same name Javier Hernández Gutiérrez and as mentioned, he has the nickname of El Chícharo, because an uncle called him that because of his eye color and short stature. As a result, when the striker entered football they inherited the title in diminutive.

"My uncle gave him [that nickname his father] because he has green eyes," he said. “When my father entered the first division [of soccer], it is rare. He commented his story; Yes it's weird. And they started calling Chícharo, C hicharo, C hicharo. And then they brought me up like the Chicharito”.

Javier Hernández, who claims to be very happy in the Major League, confessed that he did not expect to meet so many fans in Los Angeles, where he now lives. He also did not believe that so many people were waiting for him at the airport when he arrived in that city.

"It was crazy. We arrived and the airport security told us that we could not enter through the front door and I wondered why. I was with my wife Sarah [ Kohan] and my son Noah. They told me that there were thousands of people waiting for me, "he explained. "I didn't expect that reception. I was sorry, I would have loved to attend to all those people. It was overwhelming and I am so grateful to be here.”
