Talking to BBC Newsbeat, Currie said (http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/36814165/man-in-new-zealand-quits-his-job-to-play-pokemon-go-full-time) his manager was supportive, while his parents are "a little bit baffled."
"My dad sent through a text message saying he always knew I would be famous," said Currie.*
