Andrew Tate, the former professional kickboxer, is known for his misogynist persona on social media. Following his comments on women and transgenders, Tate was banned from several major social media platforms. In simple words, he is canceled for his behavior. However, there have been several notable names who claim that the controversial social media influence is different in person. Dan Bilzerian, an Armenian-American multi-millionaire, poker player, businessman, and social influencer, is one of them.

Alike Andrew Tate, Dan Bilzerian is also known for his flamboyant lifestyle on social media. Interestingly, the two have crossed paths with each other in the past.

Dan Bilzerian talks about his meeting with Andrew Tate

In one of his previous interviews, the Armenian-American celebrity talked about his meeting with Andrew Tate. Bilzerian was of a different opinion about Tate than seen on the internet.

“I only met him once, and he was actually like, honestly, he was exactly how I expected him to be. Very sharp, polite, nice, well-spoken, and very respectful. And that, how I actually thought he was going to be,” Bilzerian said.

According to Dan Bilzerian, Andrew Tate appeared to be sharper, more courteous, and more soft-spoken in person. He concurred, stating that many people can hold various views of him. Dan was familiar with Tate from earlier interviews, in which he was presented as someone quite different.

Apparently, the poker player was talking about Tate’s first interview with Piers Morgan. Bilzerian criticized Morgan for his behavior against Tate during their first interview. However, he praised the controversial influencer for standing up for himself during the interview. He called Morgan a ‘bully’ for the same.

UFC star Sean O’Malley had a similar opinion about Tate

Many well-known figures, including those from the UFC, have met with the former professional kickboxer due to his fame. Sean O’Malley, a prominent bantamweight, is one of them.

‘Suga’ stated in an interview that Andrew Tate was only building his online image using his controversial statements. Tate, according to the UFC fighter, is a very different guy in real life.

Additionally, O’Malley asserted that anything Tate says is just the way strong guys think. Tate’s comments, he said, are only funny if the former professional kickboxer isn’t being ironic. But ‘Suga’ went on to explain that the 36-year-old had a very well-liked personality because they had previously met in person the previous year.

What are your thoughts on Sean O’Malley’s opinion about Andrew Tate? What do you guys think about Bilzerian’s words? Do you guys agree with them?
