TUNNEL VISION
Meanwhile, Michael made a surprising admission about his job.
The much beloved GMA co-host has boasted an impressive multifaceted career.
Aside from his role at GMA, Strahan works on Fox NFL Sunday and hosts the $100,00 Pyramid game show on ABC.
Before becoming a star of daytime television, Strahan was an NFL football player for the New York Giants.
Despite hanging up his NFL boots 15 years ago, the GMA host said that there was something irreplaceable about being a sports player.
"No matter what I've ever done, from going to space, to anything, nothing ever, ever replaced the feeling of putting on a uniform and running out of the tunnel," he told Boardroom.
The 51-year-old shared a snippet of the interview on his Instagram account.
Fans flooded the comment section with words of support.
"Once a giant always a giant," one fan wrote.
"You have come a long way and achieved so much in your life as a big fan I have to say so Proud of you," another gushed.
"All of this success couldn’t happen to a nicer guy," another Instagram user wrote.
Aside from his impressive career, Strahan has recently entered the skincare world.
The brand, which he simply named Michael Strahan, aims to provide a strong and defensive skincare range for men.
It includes a face and beard wash, shaving lotion, beard oil, post-shave balm, and moisturizer.
"The secret to success lies not in luck but in the things you do every day," Strahan wrote on the brand's website.
The products are available in a number of retailers, including Target, Amazon, and CVS.
