Fils reveals his dream of becoming an actor

Arthur Fils is one of the biggest superstars on the circuit. Beyond his talent, which has led him to achieve great results and approach the top 10 of the ATP ranking, the French tennis player is one of the most charismatic athletes in the sport, and he recently confessed that one of his career dreams is to become an actor once he retires from tennis.

Fils is the type of player whose image generates money beyond his results. He is sponsored by Lacoste, he has occasionally worn braids, and both with his attitude and some of his statements, he often makes headlines. However, in an interview with L'Equipe, he confessed something we didn’t know until now. "Tennis allows you to earn a lot of money, to the point that I can say that by 35, I won’t need to work anymore. But if I stop working, I go crazy. I have always been drawn to the profession of acting. I would really like to be an actor."

The importance of knowing what to do after retirement

This confession from Fils has a much more significant background, which is the trend among some players once they end their careers. Equally important is having a good career and being clear about the next steps after retirement, as, as Fils says, some feel a great emptiness after spending the best years of their lives as tennis players and fall into a pit they don’t know how to escape on time.

Many tennis players remain connected to the sport in some way, whether in federations, helping in certain tournaments, or as coaches, although Fils seems to be going down a different path. That said, Arthur is only 22 years old, so he still has his entire career ahead of him. Until he retires, his life could take many turns, and for cinema to consider him, he would still need to achieve a lot in tennis to gain more popularity.
