According to British media reports, tennis legend Boris Becker is drawn to the jungle as part of a TV format. And that’s where he could really cash in.
As the “Sun” and the “Daily Mail” report, among others, Becker is taking part in the new Netflix show “Bear Hunt”. Stars are abandoned in the wilderness of Costa Rica and hunted by survival artist Bear Grylls.
“His participation in ‘Bear Hunt’ is sensational, not least because of the great attention he has received in recent years. This will be his return to the spotlight,” an insider is quoted as saying in the Daily Mail.
The source added: “Producers are hoping his natural competitive spirit, always evident on the tennis court, will prove to be television gold on the show too.”
According to the “Bild” newspaper, Becker has not yet signed a contract with Netflix. Negotiations are already underway and the makers of the show absolutely want the three-time Wimbledon winner to be there, it is said.
Netflix is probably spending a lot of money on this. Becker will therefore receive more than 500,000 pounds, which is the equivalent of almost 600,000 euros. A warm windfall for the former tennis star
The format is scheduled to begin filming in May and is scheduled to be broadcast next year. In addition to Becker, former rugby player Danny Cipriani, Spice Girl Mel B, singer Una Healy and Lottie Moss, half-sister of supermodel Kate Moss, are also scheduled to take part in the show.
Boris Becker’s turbulent past
Boris Becker looks back on a turbulent past.
In 2017, a court declared the former tennis star bankrupt. In 2022, Becker was sentenced to two and a half years in prison for allegedly concealing assets and debts.
The sums involved were millions, and Becker had always emphasized that he had not broken any laws. In December 2022, he was released early due to a special regulation for foreign prisoners and was deported to Germany.
