Nick Kyrgios recently explained the heckling incident involving Hollywood star Ben Stiller.
Nick Kyrgios was a guest at American influencer Logan Paul’s popular ‘Impaulsive‘ podcast. Kyrgios is currently on a break from playing full-time tennis as he is recovering from a knee injury and is making the most of his leisure time off the court. Logan Paul is a popular online personality, actor, professional wrestler and he was happy to welcome Kyrgios to his podcast.
Kyrgios is at his candid best on the show. In a footage uploaded by Paul on his Twitter handle ‘Impaulsive’, Kyrgios is seen explaining the heckling incident involving Ben Stiller at the Indian Wells in 2022. At one point during the match, as Kyrgios was preparing to serve, he turned to a heckler and had a question for him. Kyrgios: “Are you good at tennis?” Heckler: “No” Kyrgios: “Exactly so don’t tell me how to play.” Kyrgios then pointed towards Stiller, who was sitting nearby and said: “Do I tell him how to act?”
The cameras then focussed on Stiller and it was clearly an awkward moment for the Hollywood actor. He chuckled as the crowd at the stadium burst out in laughter. A moment that could be included as a part of Fun88 viral trend.
Nick Kyrgios is currently recovering from a knee injury
Kyrgios has recently undergone arthroscopic surgery on his left knee and is currently in the recovery phase. It is the same injury that forced him to withdraw from the Australian Open last month. He was forced to withdraw from the tournament just 24 hours ahead of his first round clash. Kyrgios has been on a break from the ATP tour since then and it remains to be seen when he can manage to make a full-fledged comeback.
The 27-year-old had confirmed his withdrawal during a conference on Day 1 at Melbourne Park and revealed that a routine MRI scan has indicated a small tear and a cyst in his lateral meniscus. Kyrgios then returned Canberra for surgery and it was certainly heart-breaking for him and his fans. On a positive note, the surgery has gone very well and Kyrgios is very much on the road to recovery.
