Ghanaian football legend Asamoah Gyan, who retired from the sport a few months ago, has shared a surprising secret to his enduring good looks.

During an Instagram live session, the 37-year-old athlete revealed that he doesn't consume alcohol, and he believes this abstention is the key to his handsome appearance.

Gyan remains highly admired by fans for both his talent and his appealing physical attributes, making him a popular figure wherever he goes.

“I don’t drink that’s why I’m this fine. It doesn’t mean that I’m condemning those who drink alcohol but the secret to my fineness is that I don’t drink alcohol,” he said.

Asamoah Gyan, the former Ghanaian football star, officially declared his retirement from the sport during a speech at the 30th Afreximbank Annual Meeting on June 20, 2023.

Gyan, who had notable stints with clubs like Sunderland and Stade Rennes, retired as Ghana's all-time leading scorer with 51 goals and as the second most-capped player for the national team. Additionally, he holds the record for the highest-scoring African player in FIFA World Cup history, having scored six goals across three tournaments.

Before his retirement, Gyan had not represented the national team for over four years, with his last appearance dating back to the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). He was notably absent from Ghana's squad for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, during which the Black Stars exited the tournament in the group stage.

On the club level, his last appearance was with the Ghana Premier League team Legon Cities two years prior, and he had been inactive since parting ways with them. Gyan's future plans remain uncertain, although he has been involved in football punditry and holds a UEFA B coaching license, although he has not yet taken up any coaching roles.
