On the international stage, he earned more than 75 caps for England and represented the British and Irish Lions, maintaining his status as one of the sport's most recognisable figures until his professional retirement in November 2024. Beyond the pitch, Marler has transitioned into a successful broadcasting and media career.

His authentic and humorous personality made him a standout finalist on the inaugural series of The Celebrity Traitors. A shortlisted author for the Telegraph Rugby Book of the Year for his memoir, Loose Head, he also produced the Sky Sports documentary Big Boys Don't Cry, which examines modern approaches to mental wellbeing. In his current post-playing career, he serves as a Player Liaison Officer for England Rugby and acts as a dedicated ambassador for the mental health charity CALM.
