It has been intriguing over the last week or so to see reports of Rob apparently having “tennis lessons” in Los Angeles. Today Just Jared is reporting that not only is Rob having lessons, but so is Rami Malek. They claim Rob has been having lessons daily. Now we know Rob and Rob when he has a movie coming up goes to extremes. The question is – is Rob really just getting ready for a role or is tennis a new passion that he just had to call up Rami for a game.
The 35-year-old Tenet actor and the 40-year-old Oscar-winning Bohemian Rhapsody star were spotted leaving a tennis lesson on Friday morning (August 6) in Los Angeles.
The guys, who met on the set of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 over a decade ago, were dressed comfortably in their workout clothes.
Rob has been spotted at the tennis court daily this week and it’s not immediately clear if he’s practicing for an upcoming role or just for fun.
Some of you have been speculating – let me know what you think in the comments.
Hmmm, I don’t know. I still haven’t seen Rob actually carrying a tennis racquet, so I’m reserving my judgement. I will admit this though – I kind of HATE seeing actors playing tennis in tv shows/movies when they clearly aren’t good tennis players. I think it looks very fake. Anyway, let’s wait and see, we just never know with Rob.
I’m more intrigued that Rami has now been thrown into the mix.
I actually wondered whether maybe they were playing squash rather than tennis. I would’ve thought if either of them were learning tennis they’d do so on a friend’s private tennis court – ie. away from prying eyes ……
It does seem odd – that’s for sure
