Before Andy Murray became a global tennis champion, there was a lesser-known chapter in his story — one that involved lights, cameras, and a hint of fashion flair. This week, old images surfaced online showing a much younger Murray posing for a local modeling campaign, and fans can’t stop talking about it.
The photos, reportedly taken during Murray’s teenage years, were part of a promotional shoot for a local Scottish sportswear brand. In the images, Murray is seen striking confident poses in both athletic wear and more casual looks — a far cry from his usual intense on-court demeanor. His shy smile and unpolished charm are earning him a fresh wave of admiration.
For many, it’s a nostalgic glimpse into who Andy was before the fame, pressure, and Grand Slam titles. It turns out the future Wimbledon champion once had dreams outside the court — and a confidence that went beyond just holding a racquet.
Some fans took to social media to share their reactions. “From nerdy kid to bedroom icon,” one user tweeted. “Andy was always that guy — we just didn’t know it.”
While the term “bedroom icon” might be a playful exaggeration, the rediscovery of these photos adds a new layer to the public’s understanding of Murray. It shows a young man comfortable in his skin, willing to explore different paths — even if only briefly.
As always, Murray has taken the sudden attention in stride, with sources close to the athlete saying he laughed when shown the photos again. After all, everyone has a past. It just so happens that his includes both center court victories and centerfold vibes.
