Arch Manning Reveals His Secret Celebrity Crush During a Recent Interview
Even though Manning was provided with the opportunity to play for Alabama and LSU two years ago, he chose to go to Texas.
He also stated that this year, he is trying to do more interviews, engage with the public, and take big roles as his resolution. Manning explained the reason behind being the face of the media and starting to accept NIL deals, which also include a big sponsorship with Red Bull.
“I didn’t want to be the guy rolling in with all this money when we have guys like Jake Majors, who have 40 starts here and are not making any [and] I’m taking all the money,” Manning told ESPN’s Marty Smith. “I wanted to earn my money, work hard, get to know the players. Kind of earn my way up.”
Manning is well-known for his subtle tone when answering serious questions, but when it’s about interesting questions like having a secret celebrity crush, he doesn’t refrain even a bit and answers every question gently.
In a recent interview with Red Bull, the Longhorns QB shared some interesting things, like his favorite movie: “The Wolf of Wall Street,” starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
But the catch is that he was not originally a fan of DiCaprio. Instead, he had a crush on the recent iconic Barbie girl and co-star of The Wolf of Wall Street, Margot Robbie.
