Athletes peak and retire at a young age, so they better have a backup plan. Fortunately for Michael Phelps, he does…become an actor and join a hit TV show!
Michael has been offered a recurring role on Entourage.He’s playing himself.
After shooting one scene, Jeremy Pivens said,
"I could see him coming back as one of the
boys. I can see (my character) Ari being very aggressive in recruiting
him to represent him and also stopping at nothing to poach him from
another client. That’s what Ari would do."
And the producer of the show, Doug Ellin, talks about how crazy it was while they were filming,
"It was the coolest thing in the world. When he showed up,
I’m not exaggerating, city buses stopped and people started yelling and
within five minutes we couldn’t even shoot."
Who gives a shit about what he looks like!? HE WON 8 GOLD MEDALS. He is a LEGEND. Some people are just SO superficial!!
I don’t care how many medals he won, he’s just plain boring. Please stick to your swimming.
It is not superficial! Yes he is a fantastic athlete but he did seriously get hit with the ugly stick!!! Just facts really..
hes so icky.
i’m his number 1 fan and he is not ugly he is cute and sexy i love him
i’m his number 1 fan and he is not ugly he is cute and sexy keep up the good work michael i love you
Micheal Phelps has accomplished what most can only dream of. He’s an excellent athlete. I think it’s great if he promotes Wheaties, Kellog’s, or even Cherrios, but stick with the norm promo’s that olympic athlete’s do… Cereal. Being on TV show’s or considering modeling/acting is not his calling.
He’s got a great athlete’s body, but his face is a looks a little special. Why do people think he is hot. I know it’s mean, but he’s just attractive at all.
eeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!
He is GROSS!!!!
Bangin’ body; banged up face.
He may not be the most attractive man in the world, but he’s hardly deformed-looking. Sheesh.
i think he’s adorable and sexy. that COULD have to do with the fact that the man is a badass.
I love Michael Phelps and I love Entourage. I cannot wait for his appearance on the show – such a great pairing. I used to swin competitively and also have ADHD, so I feel a sense of kinship toward Michael Phelps. It is amazing what the determination of an individual with ADHD can accomplish when it is something that they are interested in. I am so proud of him and love his spirit. He would be a riot on the show – it is the best show to begin with…please remember to tune in this Sunday 9/7 @10PM eastern time. No, I do not work for HBO – just a Phelps Phan & an Entourage Fan!!!
He’s a hero.
He’s an AMAZING athlete.
Phelps is like Superman! He’s an inspiration to millions.
But PLEASE PEOPLE! This is no sex symbol.
He’s about as attractive as Mr. Potato Head or Rumer Willis (whichever turns your crank)
he need to fix his teeth or something.
seriously…take your 8 medals and just go away already. Congrats, you deserve it…yadda yadda yadda but PLEASE just go away.***annie***
