Legendary Australian opener David Warner was seen on Tuesday in Melbourne, sporting a golden pistol and a blinding white shirt. The 37-year-old batter, who is well-known for his electrifying on-field displays, appears to be making a move into show business.
Warner just said goodbye to the cricket world cup and took part in an unconventional film production beside the gorgeous Yarra River. With a dazzling red helicopter, some machine guns carrying “heavies” on the quay, and Warner channeling his inner James Bond, the scenario was nothing short of a Hollywood movie.
The cricket player, resembling the legendary TV detective Kojak from the 1970s, was sucking on a giant lollipop while walking with a swagger in his white trousers. The real spectacle, though, came when Warner pulled out a gilded revolver.
Watch the video below:

The MAX60 2024 top run scorer was David Warner
Warner’s entry into the glamorous realm of Indian film would not be its first. He debuted in a viral fintech firm commercial earlier this year with famed filmmaker SS Rajamouli in a Telugu flick.

In the advertisement, Warner could be seen jokingly haggling with Rajamouli for match ticket discounts and even envisioning himself as the protagonist of a classic period drama called “Bahubali”. A new phase in Warner’s career in show business appears to be this current assignment in Melbourne.

In the meantime, the Caribbean island’s MAX60 2024 featured the southpaw most recently. Warner, who was leading the Boca Raton Trailblazers, ended up scoring 297 runs in eight innings, which was the season’s best run total.
