Forget Olympic glory – Ryan Lochte wants to be the next Kim Kardashian.
Lochte is about to wade through the reality show realm with his new series, “What Would Lochte Do.”
“Kim started from pretty much nothing, and now everyone everywhere knows who she is,” Lochte told The Hollywood Reporter. “That’s what I want to do.”
The pool side party boy hopes to follow his fellow E! star’s career trajectory and be a household name.
He gushed, “I’ve seen what E! has done in the past with reality shows like hers. Today, she’s huge.”
Lochte is off to a good start. “When I walk down the street, people recognize me, and that never happened before. Now’s my chance.”
