Boris Becker

He was one of my favourite tennis players...what did he do? Haven't heard anything about him in years.

You should read his wiki page--quite the rollercoaster from tax evasion, Wimbledon commentator, professional poker player, to prison.

I wouldn’t call tax evasion and getting locked up as seeking relevancy but you do you.

In May 2009, Becker announced the launch of online media platform Boris Becker TV. The website, in English and German, features clips from his career and footage of his daily life.[49]

Tax evasion and getting arrested isn’t.

Tom Hanks.

I am still mad over the travesty that is the Sully falsification. I've heard enough about his 'bizzare' Elvis performance, and his unnecessary rambling in the newer Disney Pinnochio to feel certain he should've retired years ago.
