The 43-year-old Serbian has grown up loving basketball and, in a kind of a roundabout way, found his way to it through his acting career. He met many people in the sport including a couple of ‘Antetokounbros’ which he grew fond of. “One night we get to a restaurant in the center of Paris and there was Theo Papaloukas, with Thanasis, Giannis, and they recognized me. I was with my nephew and was like “really?”. Because I know Papaloukas, he’s actually my age, but you know he’s been playing for so many years. And then, of course, I met Giannis and Thanasis, they really have good vibes.” That must have played a part in Peric ‘joining forces’ with the Bucks: “This year I’m going to be the ambassador of Milwaukee Bucks. For me, that’s also a big pleasure because I’m a big basketball fan and all these things that have something to do with basketball.”
