Noah Lyles has emerged as one of the biggest track and field stars in recent times. Despite winning the Olympic medal just a year back in Paris, Lyles was a popular name for a long time. The US sprinter has always loved the limelight. Be it with his statements that created widespread controversies or with his inside-the-track brilliance. Lyles’ fame quotient reached sky-high in the years leading up to Paris.
As a testament to his skyrocketing fame, Lyles got one of the most lucrative deals with Adidas. Apart from that, the US sprinter also has ties with Red Bull. Through this deal, Lyles enjoys financial support, a platform for his creative ventures, high-performance training facilities, and more. But above all these, Lyles’ crowning moment came at the Paris Olympics 2024.
Competing in the men’s 100m finals, Lyles ran a blitzkrieg time to clinch the Olympic gold medal. And this just elevated Lyles’ superstar status into a high-profile celebrity. People now follow him to places just to catch a glimpse. His autographs are also in heavy demand at the moment. Thus, enjoying the perks of being a celebrity, Lyles is living life to his heart’s content.
But there is a secret that has helped him transition smoothly into the role. After all, Lyles was living a celebrity life long before he was one! In a recent episode of the Beyond the Records podcast, Lyles mentioned that he always loved playing the celebrity. And if you think this was a vague idea, then wait till you hear Lyles’ masterstroke.
Lyles did pretend to be someone big just because he wanted to garner the attention of the fans. “I put you like this; there was a point in time where I was not a celebrity but I acted like I was celebrity so I would put myself in situations where people would either think that I’m somebody big,” said Lyles. He further explained how attending every meet and greet made him get closer to the fans, to the point they started noticing him significantly.
“Eventually people will just start attaching me to these moments so it’s like, Oh, I didn’t know who Noah Lyles was but I met him and he was amazing and then I watched him run and I didn’t even know he was in the race but then he won or he got second or I was cheering for him because he was the only person I knew,” Lyles further added.
The US sprinter stated that doing so, he succeeded in building a proper fanbase and also got the surprise of his life. In one instance, when Lyles went to the complex con, he was shocked to see fans surrounding him and trying to click pictures with him excitedly. Meanwhile, such a warm reception of the love of her life surely made Junelle Bromfield proud. Quite expectedly, she dropped a 7-word message for her beau on Valentine’s Day.
