A little over a year after terminating his contract with Basaksehir and putting an end to his professional football career, Mesut Ozil is back in the news. This time, it's because of the radical physical transformation he has undergone. The man who was once a 'skinny' creative player during his time at 'giants' like Real Madrid and Arsenal has 'gained' a bodybuilder's physique, and his social media posts have surprised 'half the world', including... Cristiano Ronaldo, his former teammate, who commented: "Not bad, bro". In an interview with the Spanish newspaper Marca on Friday, the former German international, now 35 years old, 'lifted the veil' on what life has been like since he 'said goodbye' to the king of sports. "You never spend enough time with your family, so I enjoy every second. I also have my businesses, some things in real estate... And, of course, my addictions. Like playing, going to the gym almost every day...", he began by saying. "I don't have a specific goal. I'm not waiting for an offer from the WWE. In fact, I only do it for myself, to keep fit. It's a lot of fun. I have my own gym at home and a personal trainer. I work out like this every day," he added.
