Craig Conover's New Role Has Him in Paris (PHOTOS)
See why the Southern Charm cast member and pillow mogul recently traveled to France.
Craig Conover is officially in Paris.
The Southern Charm cast member has temporarily traded in Charleston for the City of Love, as he announced in an Instagram Story on Tuesday, Aug. 27 that he was headed there with his parents to cover Team USA at the Paralympic Games.
The Paralympic Games will be held in Paris from Thursday, Aug. 29 to Sunday, Sep. 8, and Craig will be there to show all the action and to give viewers "an unprecedented opportunity to experience the Games like never before," according to a press release.
The Sewing Down South boss got a head start on that on Wednesday, Aug. 28, when he took to his Instagram Story and revealed that he was learning how to fence.
Craig got all suited up in his fencing jacket, mask, and foil in order to learn the sport. Needless to say, he had a great time. "I love it here!" Craig wrote over the video of him, learning how to fence.
Craig then took to the dueling surface, where he put his lessons into practice. Although it is unclear whether Craig or his opponent won their match, it is apparent that he had so much fun getting suited up and learning the spot. Only time will tell what else Craig will get into during his time at the Paralympics, but it definitely seems like he will be giving it his best shot.
The Latest on Craig Conover's Career
Craig is very busy, between running his pillow business, opening up a new restaurant with Southern Charm cast member, Austen Kroll, and jetting off to Paris to capture content for the Paralympics. But, Craig could have a future in international affairs.
During an appearance on girlfriend Summer House's Paige DeSorbo's interactive Amazon Live show, In Bed with Paige DeSorbo, Craig revealed that he has always wanted to be a politician. "I just think I'd be so good at it," he said. "I can fix a lot of the stuff going on."
He said that he believes he could even do something across the pond. "And [with] international affairs, I can really do some work," he concluded. "I just think someone needs to be really tough on some people."
First stop, Paris. Next, the rest of the world.
