Joe Marler is turning over a new leaf! The rugby star recently made headlines by reaching the final of Celebrity Traitors, where his charming antics were a hit with fans. But beneath that lovable TV persona lies a man who’s been on a journey of change.
In a candid chat on Jamie Laing’s podcast, Joe opened up about his past in rugby—admitting he often used his “powers for evil.” Known for his “hardman” image on the pitch, Marler confessed to once embracing a toxic mindset encouraged in the high-pressure world of professional sports. But those days are behind him now.
Reflecting on his notorious incidents, including a well-publicised suspension in 2020, Joe is embracing accountability and growth. He’s repairing old wounds and moving forward, focusing on building better relationships and leaving behind the ‘bad smell’ image that even had coaches on edge.
Retiring his rugby boots in 2024, Joe wrapped up an impressive 15-year career that included Rugby World Cup glory, Six Nations triumphs, and Premiership titles with Harlequins. Now, as he steps into a new chapter, Marler is all about using his influence for good, showing that no matter past mistakes, redemption and change are always possible.
