When I went to Real Madrid, I was only 18 or 19 years old. It was my first year as a professional footballer. I was very young.

I've got a good understanding with Tiemoue Bakayoko.

I haven't played a lot as a centre-back, but in those games, I feel like I did well.

It's not easy to replace the best centre-back in the world.

I was actually fairly athletic and coordinated, but I never played any organized sports.

In tennis, a lot of parents are accused of driving their kids into tennis. I would say I'm the opposite: I drove my parents into it. They didn't take it that seriously until I was about 11 or 12 years old, when they realised I had an opportunity to go pro.

I dedicated most of my life to basketball, and that was my plan until my junior year of college when I got ill and was bed-ridden for eight months. In those months, I wanted to be productive, and I taught myself how to produce music on my computer. When I went back to school, I started taking all my classes in music and DJing a lot.

I started my career as a swimsuit model. My first big break in America was 2007, 'Sports Illustrated' Swimsuit Issue.
