Kyle Juszczyk’s movie night with wife Kristin turns nostalgic with ballet film ‘Center Stage’

San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk may dominate on the gridiron, but his Friday night took a softer turn thanks to wife Kristin’s pick for movie night. The couple swapped their intense training routine for a cozy evening watching Center Stage, the 2000 ballet drama that became a cult favorite in the early 2000s.

With Kristin leading the charge, Kyle was introduced to a world of tights, pirouettes, and passion.

2000s dance drama makes unexpected NFL cameo

The film, released in May 2000, stars Amanda Schull and Zoe Saldana in breakout roles as young dancers chasing dreams in a high-pressure ballet academy. Kristin, clearly a longtime fan, didn’t just press play—she proclaimed the movie as one of cinema’s finest. Sharing a photo of the TV screen on her Instagram story, she added the playful caption: "Making Kyle watch the great movie ever created."

While the NFL fullback might not be the film’s usual target audience, Kyle was clearly game for the sentimental throwback. Known for their close bond, the Juszczyks often share candid moments from their life, offering fans a glimpse into their down-to-earth routine. For Kristin, Center Stage wasn't just entertainment—it was a moment to relive a cultural gem from the early 2000s, a movie that blended classical ballet with modern storytelling.

Workout intensity meets movie night charm in viral reel

But before the comfort of the couch, the couple powered through a joint workout that Kristin shared in a separate Instagram reel. The clip showed the two going through high-intensity drills, echoing the kind of discipline seen in the film they later watched. Kristin captioned the post with: "Back by popular demand… the dreaded 'come train with me today'." The contrast between the day’s physical grind and the night’s emotional unwind made their content all the more relatable.

Adding a dose of humor to their workout saga, Olivia Culpo, close friend of Kristin and wife of teammate Christian McCaffrey—reacted to the video with: "Every inch of my body hurts looking at this." The comment added a lighthearted layer to the post and drew more attention to the couple’s viral workout content, which often garners praise for its authenticity and couple goals energy.Also read: Pregnant Olivia Culpo, Christian McCaffrey’s wife, goes viral for relatable motherhood moment on a farmFrom ballet classics to brutal drills, Kyle and Kristin continue to show that their off-field chemistry is just as compelling as anything seen on game day or the big screen.
