Tennis players and actors have similar DNA Challengers-Brad-Gilbert-te-240425-e16924

If you've seen "Challengers" (or if you've only seen the buzz for it on your social media feeds), you may be wondering how three actors came to look like tennis pros. Brad Gilbert, Coco Gauff's coach and a former champion himself, was the man tasked with making Zendaya, Josh O'Connor and Mike Faist look like the real deal. While Faist played tennis in high school, Zendaya and O'Connor had no experience, and yes, all three did actually play tennis in the film, despite only having three months to train. “Tennis players and actors have similar DNA,” Gilbert tells us. Read more about his strategy here.
