In a new episode of the acclaimed The Louis Theroux Podcast, Nick Kyrgios shared his unfiltered thoughts on a range of conspiracies.
The discussion took an intriguing turn when Theroux prompted Kyrgios to consider who built the pyramids of Egypt.
“No, I don’t [think so]. Impossible,” Kyrgios responded emphatically. “That’s insanity. The fact that, how is that possible they [Egyptians] got every measurement correct, and they’re all aligned. And ‘they did it with rolling large stones on logs’ is an insane statement. Why are the doors so big? Like who needs to walk through the doors if they’re that big?”
“I don’t know who it was. I just don’t think that we were capable. It’s 2024, and we can’t even all get along. And you think that we built the pyramids? You’re insane. That’s insanity stuff,” he added.
Kyrgios, who was a finalist at Wimbledon in 2022, was further pressed on other unconventional subjects.
When asked about the moon landing, he remarked, “I have my thoughts on it. I just think it was interesting the Americans did it first because they had not one successful rocket that ever took off and then all of a sudden they were on the moon. You can read about it.”
The conversation even ventured into the shape of the Earth. “I’d probably be inclined to saying it’s round,” he said, “but I’m also not surprised if it was the other thing either. Maybe we need to have a beer and have this off-record.”
However, the dialogue between Theroux and Kyrgios delved much deeper than just conspiratorial musings. The pair candidly discussed the 29-year-old tennis player’s ongoing battle with mental health issues and his desire to retire in a manner that differs from the likes of Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal.
Kyrgios also addressed the criticism he has faced regarding his perceived underachievement in the sport, revealing the complexities behind his public persona.
