Being ranked the number one tennis player in the world would be enough for some.But Serena Williams has set her sights, erm, higher.
The sports star has revealed to Oprah Winfrey that she's enrolled in beauty school.
Speaking as part of a show that saw celebrities try out their dream occupations, Serena admitted her quest to become a nail technician is soon to be realised, as she's busy completing a manicure course: "When I was younger, I was obsessed with nails. It kind of relaxes me."
However, understandably the reaction to the news has been one of surprise from family and fans alike: "No-one believed me, and I'm like, 'Listen - I'm going to nail school.'
"Everybody's always like, 'You look like Serena Williams', and I'm like, 'If I hear that one more time...'"Having completed 200 of the 600 hours of manicure and pedicure experience she needs to qualify, Serena was more than happy to try out her skills on Oprah herself. And the TV host isn't Serena's only celebrity client: "I do Venus' nails sometimes. She can't sit still!"
We have to be honest - if we were Serena we probably wouldn't give up the day job. But at least her talons will always be preened to perfection courtside.
See which other celebrities didn't have showbiz careers in mind when they were children.
