Daniel Negreanu is a reputable high-stakes poker player with an impressive record. However, there are a couple of things that you probably don’t know about Negreanu. Read on for top 5 things you didn’t know about Daniel Negreanu.

 

He is a staunch vegan

Did you know Negreanu is a vegan? Well, now you know. However, before he jumped on the vegetarians’ bandwagon, he was a “carnivore” and he usually loved a meat-heavy diet.

In his own words, he loved burgers and steak accompanied by wine, beer, or vodka. In 2000, he decided that a lifestyle change was his only chance at a healthier life and he gave up meat. He, however, became a committed vegan in 2006.

 

If it wasn’t for poker, he would have probably become an actor

Like everyone else, when he was a kid, Negreanu dreamed of becoming an actor.

As a matter of fact, he auditioned for a role in New Adventures of Pippy Longstocking movie for the role of Tommy at the age of 12. He passed the first hurdle of the auditions and he was among the six child actors who got a callback.

Unfortunately, the film never saw the light of day. Interestingly, he was even offered an important role in the Little Shop of Horrors musical at Vanier High School, but he declined. Who knows what could have become of him if had accepted the role?

 

He has been in The Millionaire Matchmaker

Finding a soul mate is usually the main life goal for most hopeless romantics, and Daniel Negreanu is no exception. He was prepared to go all the way. He even went to The Millionaire Matchmaker-an American reality TV show.

However, everything did not go to plan. His first date was a total disaster as his date passed out while they were kissing after the air conditioning on his private jet failed.

 

He loves playing soccer

Apart from playing cards, Negreanu loves playing soccer ( or football, depending on where you live!). He is right-footed(but he is left-handed) and he loves playing on the right-wing.

Also, he is quite fast and he can beat a defender or two. However, he rarely finds the back of the net. For the love of the game, he even hired a coach to improve his game. And not just any coach. The coach of the Las Vegas Legends indoor soccer team!

 

He adores hockey

Having lived in Canada before moving to the states, like most Canadians, his love for hockey is out of this world. He even campaigned for a Las Vegas NHL franchise and in 2016, his prayers were answered. Las Vegas now has an NHL team, Golden Knights.
