Nick Kyrgios has hinted at an acting career after striking a surprise deal with Hollywood star Ben Stiller on Wednesday.
The tennis champ, 28, posted on Twitter that he was considering coaching athletes and asked his followers if there were “any takers”?
Kyrgios was stunned when the Zoolander star, 57, responded to his post with a surprise offer.
‘I’m open to it. But should know you mean it,” Stiller wrote.
Kyrgios quickly replied with a counteroffer, saying he would agree to Ben’s request if he returned the favor.

“I will coach you to get you into a professional tournament. Then you coach me to get me in a movie,’ Kyrgios replied.
Stiller responded rudely with, “First we have to decide who is coaching whom.”
Many Kyrgios fans were wild about the deal, begging Stiller to go through with his part of the bargain so they could see Nick on the big screen.
The tennis champion, 28, posted on social media that he was considering coaching athletes and asked his followers if there were “any take-offs”?
“A cameo could definitely be staged in the new Dodgeball movie,” one hopeful fan wrote, while another added, “This whole concept is a movie.”
Earlier this month, Kyrgios hinted at his long-awaited return to tennis when Costeen Hatzi, the Aussie’s girlfriend, revealed that the pair will leave their home for ‘four or five months’.
Kyrgios has not played a tour match since the Japan Open seven months ago and underwent knee surgery after missing the Australian Open in January.

On the comeback route, he’s also now bypassed the French Open where, despite not being the biggest fan of the clay court slog, he’d promised to bring his girlfriend Costeen as she wanted to see Paris for the first time.
Costeen, a social media influencer and interior designer, recently posted on Instagram that the couple are moving out of their home for an extended period of time and shared a video of their empty house, expressing her sadness at the departure.
The brunette beauty has been dating Kyrgios for just over a year now and regularly joins him on his sports tours to cheer him on from the stands.
Kyrgios has also happily credited Costeen’s positive influence in helping him produce the best year of his tennis career in 2022.
