true myth

[James Harbeck]

This could be a broadening of "myth", or it could be deliberate irony
for humour. Not enough context to know for sure.

"The myth that theater people don't have a very extensive athletic
background is mostly true," said a dusty Dominic Roberts, from the
"Mary Poppins" team. (He's Valentine in the show.) "But a lot of
these people train as dancers and singers, and that's as athletically
demanding as athletics."

James Harbeck.
