The legendary status of Serena Williams will remain forever in the history books of tennis. From the early stages of their career, the Williams sisters became superstars both on the tennis court and outside of it.

After making their professional debut in the mid-90s, they immediately gained immense popularity on the tour, particularly the younger Williams sister, Serena. In an interview, she once talked about embracing the spotlight at a young age.

Serena Williams on embracing the spotlight

In an interview in 2003, Serena Williams showed extreme confidence while she talked about her celebrity status. “I like that stuff. How many 21-year-olds are making the living I’m making, getting to do the things I do? I don’t look at it as ‘I’ve blown up,’ so to speak. It’s just that I’m not afraid to be in the public eye. That’s just me,” Serena Williams said. 

Notably, Serena appeared in many movies and music videos over the years. Recently, the movie ‘King Richard’ garnered rave reviews, along with six Oscar nominations. Incidentally, Serena was the executive producer of that movie.
