Wimbledon runner-up Andy Murray Swaps His Racket For A Guitar
Will this week’s video campaign from his racket-manufacturers, Head, do anything to change the embedded perception of the grumpy Scot? Probably not.
But it’s a quirky little number, and funny with it, especially when Murray starts pogoing up and down while strumming an electric guitar.
“It’s all a pose,” you might say. “He’s just doing it for the cameras.” But then the man you see on the court, apparently weighed down by the cares of Job, is just as unrepresentative of Murray’s real personality as the comedy rock star on this YouTube skit.
“I certainly wasn’t enjoying dancing on the stage with the electric guitar,” Murry explained on Wednesday from Miami, where he will play his first match at the Sony Ericsson Open against Alejandro Falla on Thursday.
“Some people might say that I’m not the best role model,” he added, “but I take my job very very seriously; I don’t go out partying, I don’t smoke, drink, or take drugs – any of that stuff, which a lot of footballers and rugby players have done, I’ve led a fairly clean life.”
Perhaps that’s one reason he was never going to be a rock star!
