Ezra Mam appeared to forget that he was live on Channel Nine on Sunday evening as the footy star dropped multiple expletives during an interview with rugby league legend Brad Fittler.
The five-eighth came off the bench to play a crucial role in helping the Broncos end their long wait for a premiership title on Sunday night.
Spurred on by the brilliance of Reece Walsh, Michael Maguire's side produced an epic comeback victory, with Mam enjoying an excellent performance, setting up a try during the match and spoiling multiple threatening Melbourne attacks.
After the game, he stopped for an interview with Fittler, in which he appeared to not realise that the cameras were on.
Mam stepped forward and showed off his glittering premiership ring before being asked by Fittler: 'Give everyone at home a look at that.
'How hard is it to win one of these?' Fittler added.

Mam enjoyed a superb performance, coming off the bench to help lead his side to a huge Grand Final victory against Melbourne Storm
'Are we on?' Mam responded. Fittler replied: 'We're on!'
The Broncos five-eighth replied: 'Oh f***!'
'Real hard obviously, I'm lucky enough to have got to the Grand Final in 2023, but we weren't lucky enough to come away with the chocolates.
'But yeah, this year's just been so like, f***ing, oh s***,' he added realising he had sworn again.
He wasn't the only player who dropped an expletive live on air, with Walsh also dropping an F-bomb while issuing a message to those who have criticised him over the years.
He told Triple M NRL: 'F*** I'm so stoked man. These boys deserve it man. This is a build up from first time I stepped in the club, Kevvie f***ing started it. Madge has taken over.
'I'm so bloody grateful to be a part of this awesome club. I love it so much. This is the best feeling in the world, mate.'
He added: 'People call me a lot of names, say a lot of things, but one thing they can't take away from me now is that I'm a bloody premiership winner.'

For Mam, it's been a turbulent year, with the Broncos five-eighth returning to the squad after being handed a nine-game suspension at the start of the season, after he pleaded guilty to a drug driving offence, which took place last October.
The 22-year-old hit the headlines after his Ford Ranger ute collided with an Uber, which was carrying a mother and her young daughter. The passengers in the taxi, including the driver, mother and her young daughter, sustained injuries.
He was found to have cocaine in his system and was driving without a licence. He had injured multiple passengers riding in the Uber during the incident, including a young girl.
Reflecting on the year, paid thanks to the club for trusting in him over the years.
'I'm speechless,' he added.
'The club has got major support around us, obviously, for myself, they've supported me in my journey and this year and I can't thank them enough,' he says.
'But, you know, the brotherhood that we've formed and sisterhood with the team, we've really bonded together from, from upstairs to the playing group.
Some fans on social media hit out at Mam, after the footy star was welcomed onto the stage to receive his premiership ring.
'We really couldn't be doing it without everyone getting around us.'
