Noah Lyles wisely responded to a fan who asked him why he has yet to enroll in college.

Three-time World champion Noah Lyles has responded to a curious fan on why he has yet to go back to college.

During a question-and-answer session on his Instagram stories, a fan asked him why he did not want to go to college.

The two-time World 200m champion responded to the fan's question by sharing the movie character Joker's picture with a quote that read: "If you are good at something never do it for free."

Meanwhile, Lyles attended the University of Florida and competed for the Florida Gators after studying at the Alexandria City High School in Virginia.

However, in 2016, the American signed with Adidas along with his brother Josephus Lyles as they turned professionals.

Lyles then went ahead to win his first senior title in the men’s 300m at the 2017 USA Indoor Championships in New Mexico. He also clinched a silver medal in the 4x200m relay along with his team at the 2017 World Relays.

The American has also managed to attract the spectator's gaze through his fashion sense. A fan questioned Lyles about the inspiration behind his fashion sense.

The fan asked: "What sparked your love for fashion?"

Lyles answered by saying: "When I started as a pro I had a lot of time on my hands and learned fashion was a way I can express myself."

During the World Championships in Budapest, Hungary, Lyles was seen donning a unique look. He sported a new unique aerodynamic hairstyle, which was supposed to save milliseconds of his timings by minimizing the wind resistance. He added a sparkle to his look by donning nail art with golden stars.
