A lot of the players selected by fans happened to look similar to the male lead, Ryan Gosling or happened to be wearing pink in their picture. Either way, perhaps some of these players can make an appearance in the sequel.
NBA Players To Start Breaking Into Hollywood More Frequently?
There has been no shortage of NBA players who have appeared on the big screen. Michael Jordan and LeBron James have been stars of their own movies with the Space Jam titles. Whereas players like Ray Allen and Juancho Hernangomez have also starred as basketball players in big movies.
Some players were even able to find success on the big screen before they made it to the NBA. Giannis Antetokounmpo was in an Australian film called ‘Dead Europe’ one year before he was drafted to the Milwaukee Bucks. And 10 years later, Giannis would be the subject of his own biopic made by Disney Studios.
Which NBA player will be the next to make it to Hollywood? That remains to be seen, but don’t be surprised if one of the players mentioned above finds themselves in Barbieland for the sequel to ‘Barbie’ in the coming years.
