Alisha Lehmann gets involved with AI-generated Studio Ghibli trend as she shares uncanny anime images of herself

In recent days, AI-generated Studio Ghibli artwork has become a major trend across various platforms. Users worldwide have been experimenting with OpenAI’s latest image-generation tools, which allow them to reinterpret real-life scenes in the signature animation style of the legendary Japanese film studio. Lehmann, a standout performer for Juventus, decided to explore the viral trend herself, unveiling a series of anime-style images that caught the attention of her vast online following.

Beyond her performances for Serie A title contenders Juventus, Lehmann has cemented herself as a major social media personality. Her influence extends far beyond football, with reports indicating that she can earn up to €42,000 (£35k/$45.5) per sponsored Instagram post. This sum is separate from her football salary, which is estimated at €185,000 (£154715/$200156) per year with Juventus.

Despite her commitments with Juventus, Lehmann remains actively involved in other football-related ventures. She is set to be a key presence at the Baller League UK’s second round of fixtures, where she will be offering her insights and expertise. She will share the spotlight with Maya Jama, the popular television presenter, who has been rubbing shoulders with top football personalities, including Champions League winner Ruben Dias.

While Lehmann’s off-field endeavours continue to draw attention, she remains dedicated to her professional career. After remaining an unused substitute in Juventus' 3-2 defeat to Inter on Sunday, she will hope to feature when the Bianconeri take on Roma on April 13.
