Emily in Paris Star William Abadie Targets Snowboarding Comeback
William Abadie reveals winter plans to compete in snowboarding after finishing the NYC Marathon, plus a Paris premiere moment and restaurant project.
At the Paris world premiere of Emily in Paris Season 5, William Abadie revealed his bold winter plan: to compete in snowboarding again after a recent fitness milestone. He said he feels like he’s still 20 and has always been a snowboarder, planning to rejoin the European Cup this winter.
Snowboarding is not new for him; he’s been on the slopes since his teens and has previously competed at high levels in Europe. This season he’ll focus on the European Cup circuit, splitting time between Paris and ski venues as he trains with the same discipline he applies to acting.
Abadie recently crossed another milestone by finishing the New York City Marathon in November, a feat he says helped keep him sane during tough times. He treats running and triathlon-style goals as therapy, a mindset he credits for balancing his busy acting schedule.
Beyond sports, Abadie is quietly working on opening a restaurant in New York City, a project that reflects his long-standing love of food and hospitality.
His athletic journey started in high school and evolved into long-distance runs and triathlons. He notes that reaching one goal often pushes him to aim higher, a pattern he finds endlessly motivating.
Emily in Paris Season 5 is streaming now on Netflix, and Abadie’s off-screen pursuits—on the slope or in the kitchen—add another layer to the show’s global appeal.
