Murray, 38, who is also a double Wimbledon champion, winning there in 2013 and 2016, said he did draw the line, though, at allowing one of his children to take a medal to school as part of a project.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy kids wear the Olympic medals,\u201d he told The Tennis Podcast. \u201cI was quite precious about them at the beginning but now I\u2019m just like, it\u2019s fine, scratch them up and stuff, whatever.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of them wanted to take one of them into school. They were doing something at school and we were like, \u2018No it\u2019s a bit much to send them in with one of them.\u2019 So I gave them my Beijing Olympics participation medal instead, which they were happy with.\u201d<\/p>\n
Murray won his first gold medal for Team GB after defeating Roger Federer in the final at the 2012 London Olympics. He repeated the achievement in Rio four years later with a win over Juan Mart\u00edn del Potro.<\/p>\n

One of the medals was recently returned to him after being on loan to the Wimbledon museum for an exhibition on his career.<\/p>\n
He and his wife, Kim, have three daughters, Sophia, nine, Edie, eight, and Lola, four, and a six-year-old son, Teddy.<\/p>\n
Murray, who also won the US Open in 2012 and reached eight other grand slam finals, retired from the sport after reaching the quarter-finals of the men\u2019s doubles at the Olympics in Paris last year.<\/p>\n
Often associated with his deadpan delivery, Murray has, especially since retirement, shown a different side to his character<\/a>, appearing in television adverts that have shown off his sense of humour.<\/p>\n Albert Bartlett, the potato supplier, launched its advertising campaign<\/a>, entitled Bring Out Your Best Side, with the tennis ace in October, the brand stating that Murray brought his \u201ctrademark charm and humour\u201d to the project.<\/p>\n \u201cWorking with the Albert Bartlett team was great fun and I actually picked up a few cooking skills along the way. Now that I\u2019m at home more, I think those tips will come in handy. My wife\u2019s pretty excited about that too,\u201d Murray said.<\/p>\n \u2022 Inside the world of Andy Murray Ltd<\/a><\/p>\n He also donned a bespoke Christmas jumper, adorned with images of shortbread, for adverts as part of his new role as brand ambassador for the Scottish company Walker\u2019s<\/a>. The campaign was said to be designed to \u201cinspire holiday cheer\u201d.<\/p>\n
