Buddy Franklin‘s shock new career has been discovered almost one year after he announced his retirement from the AFL.
He enjoyed one of the best careers the game has ever seen before quitting the sport in July 2023 following a calf injury.
But leaked footage has shown the sports legend’s surprising new off-field venture.
In a video shared to Reddit, Buddy appeared in a kitchen kneading dough while taking part in a film shoot.
‘Does anyone know what this is? Looks like Buddy’s got a new side hustle… but it’s not on the field,’ the poster wrote.
Several users guessed Buddy was now a chef and perhaps the face of a new ‘cooking show’.
‘I’m not a scientist, but if I had to take a wild guess I’d say it looks like he’s taking part in some sort of televised cooking program,’ one user suggested in the thread, while another added, ‘Lol is he in a cooking show?’
‘Got to be an ad right?’ another asked.
Buddy’s upcoming move is part of a collaboration with Hahn, with more to be announced by the beer company on Friday.
Buddy’s exit from the AFL was officially announced by the club in July last year after the forward told teammates of his decision.
