You know what sets Michael Irvin apart in the NFL? His playing style while using his size to beat corners. He had the strength to break free from press coverage. The awareness to shield defenders with his body. The hands to snag passes beyond his frame. And also, the toughness to battle anyone for a jump ball. But guess what? Even though he retired after injuring his neck on October 10, 1999, the man still looks like he could suit up and give the Dallas Cowboys a couple of big-time catches.
On Wednesday, Michael Irvin shared a video post on his official Instagram account. In this upload, he could be seen showing off his shape that could arguably fail about 90% of the men of his age. Moreover, this could also help him in coming back to the NFL for sure. Now he might not be coming back to the league, but he is at least celebrating his off-field stuff.
Currently, the former Miami Hurricanes is in Brazil, who was seen enjoying a party night on March 5. But what caught the fans’s attention was his mimicry of a famous dialogue from Fast & Furious. Remember Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson’s intense standoff scene in the streets of Brazil? Yes! Michael Irvin too opened up his arms, saying, “As Vin Diesel say, ‘I know I come a long way from home, but this is Brazil.’”
As soon as Michael Irvin finished the dialogue, he showed off his big laugh to his audience. Now we all agree that many of us want to live this dialogue, especially the ones who are from Brazil. But anyway, we are happy for you Irvin! His Vin Diesel moment captured the attention of his fans, who also couldn’t remove their eyes from his perfect shirtless body shape.
From 1988 to 1999, Michael Irvin played his entire 12-year career as a wide receiver in America’s Team. After being versatile on field, he went on to try his gig as a sports commentator, and he did well! But that wasn’t all! He even gave Hollywood a shot with motion pictures like Jack and Jill (2011), The Longest Yard (2005) and Criminal Minds (2005). Well, it has been a long time since these releases, but his recent dialogue delivery surely reminded everyone of his acting chops. And why shouldn’t it? Afterall, it was a big day for the 6’2” man!
Michael Irvin ticked off his bucket list!
Florida-born Michael Irvin, who recently received an emotional farewell, is celebrating his 59th birthday far from home. He traveled approximately 4,162 miles by air to experience Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In the videos he shared, Irvin is clearly in a festive mood – and his outfit says it all.
The former NFL star rocked silver shimmering shorts, a matching silver neckband, his signature glasses, and black slip-ons. Addressing fans in his post, Michael Irvin explained the reason to come and celebrate in Brazil. And no, it’s not because he had to live Vin Diesel’s moment, though it gave him the opportunity. It was actually because – “I know you must wonder, why I am dressed in such a way. It was on my bucket list before I turned 60, to at least experience Carnival, so I am here when I am turning 59.”
That’s why he chose Brazil for his big day, and fans couldn’t be happier to see him checking off a bucket list moment. In return, Michael Irvin also thanked everyone for their warm birthday wishes in his video message. Happy Birthday, the playmaker!
