In an unexpected twist, RB Leipzig's maestro Kevin Kampl is entertaining a taste for the wild after his football career. The 34-year-old sensation has his sights set on the RTL show "I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!", infamously known as the "Jungle Camp".
During a candid conversation on the Bild podcast "Phrasemakers," Kampl shared his long-nurtured dream, admitting, "I've been obsessed with this show for 20 years. I've even told my wife, 'I want to do that someday.'" His wife's immediate response? "You're f*cking nuts!"
With a chuckle, Kampl seems undeterred by his wife's skepticism. Teammate Lukas Klostermann, however, is a potential spectator with a difference. "I'd totally watch you, man. Honestly, I'd probably even call for you. I've got to say, I'd love to see that. I'm legit intrigued to see how you handle it," Klostermann shared. But his enthusiasm is somewhat tempered: "To be honest, it doesn't exactly appeal to me 100 percent."
Outside of the football field, Kevin Kampl tends to his primal instincts by deep-sea fishing. On his favorite island, Mallorca, the ex-Slovenian national player goes after gargantuan tuna during his vacations. According to Kampl, "One summer, I had a 264-pound monster on the line, and it almost dragged me into the ocean." The battle between man and beast wasn't just a test of willpower but an all-out war, with Kampl and his rod getting dragged into the fray.
