UPDATE: Now RAJ wants to be a movie star:
“I would like to be an action hero in some Bollywood movie. I have all the qualities needed to be one,” …
Rumour … from Marc Malkin:
“I got an offer for a movie,” Johnson, 17, told me yesterday at the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation’s A Time for Heroes Celebrity Carnival in L.A. “If I take them up on it, it’ll be very exciting.”
She didn’t want to give too much away, but she revealed that it’s a starring role in a kids flick.
Filmmakers have given her about a month to decide. “It’s nerve-racking,” she said. “I have a lot of decisions to make.” …
Also, she broke her the disco ball trophy from Dancing With the Stars was accidentally broken.
Check the dirt – Shawn Johnson May Star in Kids Flick!

From what I read, the trophy got broken on a flight from New York to LA. She did not break it herself.
yeah there is no way she is coming back to gymnastics
I hope she does whatever makes her happy, be it gymnastics or a (likely short) personality career. I don’t see her coming back to the gym if she does a movie, obviously.
I don’t get why sport personalities feel the need to “act”. Has anyone ever done that with success? Just don’t think she has the range (much like her flexibility).
This will work out just as well as Mitch Gaylord’s movie career. She’s headed for Cinemax After Dark by 2015.
Ouch, anon, ouch. I’m having a hard time thinking of any actor who did more than 3 decent movies who were sports personalities before.
I can really only think of those involved in martial arts and sports. However, the list is only coming up with the sports personalities as Van Damme and Dolph Lungren.
However, Jason Statham was an Olympic level diver before he was an actor. Jet Li was a wushu star. Of course Arnold became one as well.
Actually, Amy Jo Johnson was a class 1 gymnast and seemingly the only one I can think of that actually had more acting roles than I can count on one hand.
Yeah so much for being just a normal teenager.
Here are some Blair. I don’t know if you’d consider too many of these “decent movies” or not, but there are a few that I enjoyed. Especially if you count Jason Lee as a former pro athlete.

That doesn’t even include movies like Space Jam, where everyone in the NBA had a part (and similar movies, like Wayans’ brothers ghost-basketball movie). Or the few B-movies Shaq made, which weren’t decent so don’t count.
