Disney is going to transform Giannis Antetokounmpo’s life story into a documentary film titled “Greek Freak”, showing his journey from being a poor undocumented immigrant in Greece to becoming one of the most promising NBA athletes.

Antetokounmpo invited inexperienced actors to take part in the “Greek Freak” casting

Giannis Antetokounmpo’s story is full of inspiration: rising so high to become a 2-time Most Valuable Player, 4-time NBA All-Star, and the Most Improved Player. The Milwaukee Bucks became a final point of this long journey, Giannis became a star and the 26th Highest Paid Athlete in the World.

Very little information about the movie has been announced so far, but Giannis confirmed the beginning of the casting on his Twitter:

Disney is making a movie based on my family’s story and they are searching for actors to play me and my brother, Thanasis, in our younger days. No experience necessary! It helps if you resemble the handsome boys pictured below and have some basketball experience. SPREAD THE WORD!
