Brian Zembic

Other wagers

Although Zembic is a notorious gambler, he claims the "breast bet" remains the most stupid he has ever accepted. He has taken part in other wagers, including one for $14,000 when he lived in a bathroom for a week before the people he took the bet with bought him out for $7,000. He once played famous poker player Doyle Brunson in a ping pong game where Zembic took $14,000. On another bet he slept the night in New York's Central Park with $20,000 on his person. He also lived in a box for a week to earn another $25,000.

Other work

On March 25, 2005, Zembic played in the Season 2 of World Series of Blackjack, where he lost to Jason Geraci, Michelle Richards, Mike Aponte, and Eric Kiel (winner of a million-dollar tournament) in round 9. Zembic is also a professional magician.

Untitled movie In a 2005 interview, Zembic stated that starting in 1999, there was a movie in the works about his story. Fox Searchlight Pictures bought the rights to his story. The script has been completed and various stars have been attached like Drew Carey and David Duchovny. Zembic says part of the reason he hasn't had the implants removed is that "... every year when they renewed the rights, they kept saying, 'Keep the tits so you can appear at the end of the movie. It'll be really cool.'" But David Higgins the producer attached to the film says, "I'm not insisting that he keep his implants in; it's completely up to him," he says. "It would be great for marketing, of course, but we can always find another way."

Family

In 2000, Zembic fathered a daughter, Mika, with his then-wife. When asked about her father's breasts, Mika said, "I know why [Zembic has] boobs: Uncle Mike paid [Zembic] money to put them in". In a 2006 interview, he said that Mika was one of the few reasons he would have the implants taken out; if they caused her to be bullied in school, he would have them removed.
