Tennis icon Boris Becker recently made a splash at the Berlinale film festival, where he debuted a documentary about his life. While he was there, however, he also inadvertently gave fans a glimpse into his personal life that he may not have intended.
During the festival, Boris and his girlfriend Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro posed for photographers on the red carpet. Boris took the opportunity to capture the moment on his iPhone camera, later posting the photos and a video to his social media accounts.
However, fans quickly noticed something peculiar about the images: Boris’ phone case was visibly worn and contained several cards. One of these cards was easily identifiable as belonging to the British private bank “Metro Bank”.
Analysts have speculated that Boris uses his phone case to store various membership and business cards, though it is unclear what other cards may be inside. The inclusion of the Metro Bank card has raised eyebrows, given controversies surrounding the bank’s practices in recent years.
Despite the inadvertent revelation, Boris remains a beloved figure in the tennis world and beyond. His documentary at the Berlinale was well-received, and fans continue to follow his career with interest. Only time will tell if Boris chooses to address the contents of his phone case in the future.
