Gladiators star Apollo, also known as Alex Grey, continues to draw inspiration from his late uncle, a rugby player who passed away from leukemia at the age of 33 when Alex was just 13. Last year, upon turning 33 himself, Alex made a vow to make the most of his time on Earth, a promise he has upheld by pursuing various endeavors.

Now 33, Alex has transitioned from a successful rugby union and NFL career to exploring his passion for music. He reflects on his journey of self-discovery, emphasizing the distinction between his achievements and his core identity. Alex describes his evolution as embracing new challenges and expanding his horizons beyond sports.

With a newfound focus on music, Alex has teamed up with fellow Gladiator Dynamite, real name Emily Steel, to advocate for mental health awareness through music. He shares his experience of transitioning from a structured sports career to a more creative and expressive path.

Alex’s family background, filled with both sports and musical talent, has influenced his diverse interests and aspirations. He aims to break stereotypes around male mental health and redefine masculinity positively. His message aligns with the values of resilience and fulfillment that he promotes through his work on Gladiators.

Having found success in multiple fields, Alex remains humble and committed to making a positive impact on others. He cherishes the support he receives from fans and values the opportunity to inspire others through his journey. As he continues his musical pursuits and Gladiators appearances, Alex looks forward to further growth and meaningful contributions to the community.
