Former Harlequins and England rugby star Joe Marler has become a finalist on BBC's Celebrity Traitors, captivating new audiences with his sharp wit and distinctive personality. As the 35-year-old former player vies for the title, let's delve into ten lesser-known facets of his life that illustrate just how multifaceted he truly is.
Joe Marler isn't just a rugby player; he's a podcast guru. His show, initially named "The Joe Marler Show," was reimagined as "Things People Do," spotlighting ordinary people achieving the extraordinary, reflecting Marler's interest in everything from American politics to debating the merits of Victoria Sponge cakes.
In a surprising twist, Marler launched a free OnlyFans account dedicated to his feet, humorously named @JoseMalaTrotters, complete with a cheeky promotional video where he playfully entices viewers to check out his "certified" feet.
Marler's knack for stirring the pot on the field is well-documented, often caught by referee mics using his physical and verbal prowess to unsettle opponents, a tactic that made him a notorious figure in the rugby world.
The prop's retirement journey has been a rollercoaster, with multiple retirements and returns, suggesting a persistent passion for the sport despite his final decision to hang up his boots for good.
A lover of hearty meals, Marler's favorite is a brisket sandwich, a behemoth creation tenderly prepared by the England Rugby chef, showcasing his appreciation for good, filling food.
Marler's interviews are never dull. From his early days to memorable post-match comments, his humor always shines through, keeping everyone on their toes.
"It's okay to talk about mental health,"
Marler advocates, challenging stereotypes about masculinity and mental health, openly discussing his own struggles and encouraging others to do the same.
Post-rugby, Marler embraced padel, rapidly becoming an ambassador for the sport, demonstrating agility and skill on the court despite his imposing stature.
Don't be fooled by the tattoos and Mohawk; Marler is a rugby tactician. Danny Care praises his intelligence, saying,
"Joe has a hell of a rugby brain on him."
This insight, combined with his varied interests, cements Marler's reputation as a man of depth and intellect.
Through his podcasts, social media antics, and advocacy, Joe Marler continues to influence and entertain, proving he's much more than just a former rugby player.
