He revealed that he was chubby and overweight as a child. So, his mother dragged him to the local tennis courts so that he could lose some weight and get active.
Well, I hated tennis, when I was young. So, you know, I was very chubby, overweight as a kid. And my mom, she was like, okay, we have got to get you doing some sports or to be active. So, she dragged me down to the local tennis courts. And I remember I was crying all day, hated it. Didn’t want to be there anyway.
