Should Usain Bolt get in to acting?

[Xavier]

Do you think Usain Bolt should go into acting. Most athletes I see doing this fail. I would say "Dancing with the stars" is a better option.

Usain Bolt had the fans at the Olympic Stadium during the London Olympics on their feet. After winning gold medals twice in individual sports, the athlete catered to the cameras and got the fans excited around the world. His charisma and hardworking mentality is wanted in Hollywood. On Sunday it was leaked that Usain Bolt is being offered jobs as a movie star in an action hero films.

While the runner has repeatedly implied he will be focused and ready for the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in 2016, it seems that little time has been wasted on the idea that he moves to Hollywood first and starts working on films. Getting offers after the Olympics, the athlete is considering his possibilities.

I think dancing with the stars is cheesy suh might as well him just stick to athletics.

I think Ryan Lochte supposed to be doing dancing with the stars.

And if he does get into acting, they will probably try to get him to do guest appearances as himself, which isn't really serious acting.

I hope he does. Take some acting lessons, pick up some small roles and develops his skill / craft. I would suggest that he get a small role in a play.... ( Mos Def developed into quite an actor after he in a London play with Jeffery Wright)

But I hope he does not get a role like Carl Lewis got where Carl played a cop and they dumped a load of horse manure on him!

Yes, if him can get good character parts like say Delroy Lindo, an not dem ediat parts dem always waa gi to Jamaican actors. He may be better off doing a serious roll first in England, to show that he has &quot;di stuff&quot;, before trying it in Merica whe dem may not tek him too serious. By di way, in my opinion, a &quot;super hero&quot; roll would kill Bolt's acting career. Him first role should bi dramatic.

Dancing with the stars would be a good fit for Usain. He usually dances when he wins. I remember the first time I saw him take of his shoes dance and pose I thought &quot;who is this guy?&quot; Well he has bolted all the way to the bank.

BTW, God has a sense of humour. Imagine having someone who would grow up to be a track star being born into a family named Bolt. Only God could orchestrate that.
