Over the years, we have gotten used to seeing celebrity after celebrity in various entertainment programs.
But it is not something that attracts Björn Borg – despite the fact that he has received offers of millions.
– Never in my life, he says to the Epoch Times.
The tennis legend Björn Borg is one of Sweden’s foremost athletes of all time. He is, after his successful career, used to being in the limelight and being in the center. But he does not plan to become a TV star.
“Never in my life”
The 66-year-old, unlike many other athletes, is not particularly keen on appearing in entertainment programs such as Let’s Dance.
– Haha, never in my life. Of course, I don’t mean that there would be anything strange about appearing there, in the Master of Masters or similar programs. But it’s not for me, he tells the Epoch Times.

However, Borg has recently appeared in the box together with his son Leo Borgwhere the fast food chain Sibylla was advertised.
– Advertising stuff is something I normally refuse. But now Sibylla asked if I wanted to do something together with Leo and then it was obvious to say yes. It became a fun thing together with him. In addition, it is a company that I grew up with and that I like. Although all the reshoots during the recording day meant that there might have been a lot of burgers then, says Borg with a laugh.

Offered millions
But it won’t be more than that in the television industry, despite the fact that he has been offered millions to participate in programs.
– Yes, but money cannot be decisive for the choices we make. They should be made according to how we want our existence to be, says Borg.

During his career, Björn Borg won eleven grand slam titles, and his son Leo ranks today as the world’s 506th best tennis player.
