Former professional football player Marshawn Lynch who switched his career from football to Hollywood will be starring in a new adult teen comedy movie titled “Bottoms”. The movie is all set to release in August 2023 and also stars Rachel Sennott. The American dropped trailer on his social media and judging by it, Lynch plays a significant role in the movie.
The upcoming movie featuring former Seattle Seahawks follows two queer students as they attempt to start a high school fight club in order to get close to their crushes. Lynch would be seen playing the role of a supervising teacher, “Mr. G”, who helps the students run a self-defence club. The five-time Pro Bowler posted the trailer of his first movie and captioned it, “Peep the trailer… yo boi done made it to the big screen. #BottomsMovie in theaters August 25th + some mo’ cities September 1st.” Though Lynch has made cameos in shows like “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”, "Westworld" and "Murderville," this will be the first time he won’t play himself.
