LOS ANGELES (REUTERS) - Gold medal-winning Olympic swimmer and party boy Ryan Lochte will get his own reality television series as he trains with one eye on the 2016 Summer Games and another looking for love, United States (US) network E! said on Monday.
What Would Ryan Lochte Do? will premiere in April and document the American swimmer's late nights clubbing and early mornings training in the pool all while building a fashion line.
"Ryan Lochte captured everyone's attention at the Summer Olympics with his athletic prowess and his utterly unique and unaffected approach to life," E! President Suzanne Kolb said in a statement.
"Watching this show, I believe people will fall into three categories: they want to be him, sleep with him or mother him," Kolb added.
