Like a rapper: Bayern star Olise turns heads with sparkling teeth | OneFootball

Michael Olise has long been one of FC Bayern’s most important players on the pitch. But while the attacking star dazzles with speed, technique, and creativity during matches, he remains an enigma off the field. Now, the 23-year-old has caused a stir with an extravagant Instagram post—showing himself in a completely new light.

Dark sunglasses, leather gloves, eye-catching chains—and at the center: his sparkling grillz. With the glittering dental accessories, Olise posed for the camera, looking more like a rapper from the US than a Bundesliga pro. The picture immediately went viral on social media and sparked plenty of discussion among fans.

It’s an appearance that fits Olise’s mysterious aura. Since his €50 million move from Crystal Palace to Munich in the summer of 2024, the left-footer has rarely given the public a glimpse into his private life. Interviews? Not a chance. After games, he usually disappears wordlessly into the dressing room. After the 3-1 victory over Chelsea in the Champions League, he at least managed a brief “Ciao” to reporters—that was all anyone heard.

Even at his official presentation, Olise answered journalists’ questions with only one-word replies. Even in the club’s own videos, he comes across as reserved, almost shy. On the pitch, however, it’s a different story: he’s one of Bayern’s most prominent players, often dictating the tempo in attack and almost impossible to stop with his dribbling skills and speed. It’s no wonder he’s considered a top signing by sporting director Max Eberl.

In the dressing room, though, Olise shows another side, as teammate Dayot Upamecano recently revealed: “You might think he’s very reserved. But in the dressing room, he’s more open—he talks and laughs with everyone. For me, he’s a friend. I’m happy to play with him at Bayern. He’s an incredible player.”

And so Olise remains a fascinating figure at FC Bayern: quiet but hugely influential on the pitch, taciturn in public, but suddenly extravagant online with grillz and flashes of light. A superstar who doesn’t say much—but speaks volumes with his performances and his images.
