Kim Kardashian Is My Role Model, Says Ryan Lochte


There’s about to be another Kardashian in the world. And no, I’m not talking about Kim’s baby. Ryan Lochte, the Olympic swimmer and soon-to-be reality star, said that he wants to be just like Kim Kardashian.

Wait, Ryan Lochte wants to get famous for making a porn video? Or does he want to have an elaborate and televised sham wedding? An extremely short and extremely public marriage?

Oh, OK. He wants to be a successful reality star.

The Olympic swimmer, who will soon be starring in What Would Ryan Lochte Do?, said that he admires Kim Kardashian and looks up to her as a role model.

Lochte said: “I have the most respect for her with her business and what she’s done. She started from nothing and now look at her. You can ask anyone and they’re going to know who she is. She’s handled herself really well throughout the years of doing her own show. She’s a star.”

Lochte also said that he watched a lot of Kourtney and Kim Take Miami to prepare for his new reality show. Yep, the swimmer used Kourtney and Kim Take Miami as an educational tool.

The swimmer said: “I started watching to try to learn what to expect. The whole Kardashian family, they have a bunch of energy. Wow, this was awesome. That’s how my family is. We all have a bunch of energy and we are all different.”

Lochte has had a successful Olympic career and he may be able to add a few more medals in 2016. But the swimmer could lose a little bit of respect with his new reality show. Lochte pointed at Bruce Jenner, an Olympic gold medalist, saying that he hopes that people will remember him as an athlete and not as a reality star.

The simmer said: “I hope that doesn’t happen with me… Just because I love swimming. I hope people don’t lose that about me… Not to have a big head about it but people love me.”
