For a small child there is no division between playing and learning; between the things he or she does just for fun and things that are educational. The child learns while living and any part of living that is enjoyable is also play.
Any time you play someone who is alive, well, very much in the public eye, and has a huge audience who admire, respect and look to them for inspiration, you want to do the best you can.
