The Frenchman has been spotted testing out his cameraman skills, recording some of his teammates during training, and also impersonating a pilot.

PSG recently shared a TikTok video of the defender donning a pilot's hat and looking his absolute finest. Les Parisiens are sponsored by Qatar Airways, so Kimpembe likely has enough exposure to airlines.
PSG will kick off the tour with a friendly game against Riyadh All-Stars, a team of both Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr stars including Cristiano Ronaldo.
Kimpembe won't be a part of the game because of injury, and no timeline has been given for his return.
As noted by Goal, the Frenchman is recovering from an Achilles tendon injury but has started training alone. Kimpembe has missed much of the season through injury and has only made eight Ligue 1 appearances.

'Messi or Ronaldo' was a question resulting from the nine years in which the stars came up against each other in Spain, starring for Barcelona and Real Madrid respectively.
