Figuring out what you want to do after college can be tough, and that’s no different for former LSU gymnastics and social media superstar Livvy Dunne<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But she has a plan: Hollywood<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dunne \u2014 whose boyfriend, Paul Skenes, is pitching for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic \u2014 sat down with People<\/a> to talk about what’s next for her now that she has hung up her\u2026 her\u2026 leotard and chalk dust bag, I guess?<\/p>\n

“One thing people would be surprised about is that I take acting lessons \u2014 and I really love it,” Dunne said. “It’s something I’ve been passionate about for quite some time. I was interested in doing that at LSU, but sports are your top priority when you’re a student-athlete at school; school and sports, but really, gymnastics was my main focus.<\/p>\n

“And now that I’m done with school, I have more time to lean into the acting stuff and the creative side of things.”<\/p>\n

Alright, every studio executive in Hollywood just sat up, intrigued upon reading that quote.<\/p>\n

You need to strike while the iron is hot and put Livvy Dunne in “the pictures,” as they used to say.<\/p>\n

Look, I’ve never seen her act, but I’m sure she’s just fine. We all need to stop pretending like acting is some Herculean undertaking.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You pretend to be a wizard or a cop or a prostitute with a heart of gold and say some words that someone else wrote for you.<\/p>\n

It’s not atom splitting or hauling crab pots out of the Bering Strait.<\/p>\n

And since she’s taken lessons, I bet she could hold her own with a huge chunk of working actors.<\/p>\n

So, with that in mind, some studio needs to put her in a movie because that thing will make a boatload of cash. Don’t believe me? Do you remember the crowds of kids who showed up to her gymnastics meets?<\/p>\n

Yeah. I think they’d probably pony up for a couple of tickets and a bucket of popcorn.<\/p>\n

However, I can only guarantee the success of a Livvy Dunne flick once. If that first movie she’s in is some disaster, it will be a harder sell for future installments in the Livvy Dunne Cinematic Universe (LDCU).<\/p>\n

I’ve laid the groundwork for you, Hollywood. Put her in anything now. Put her in a rom-com or psychological thriller or maybe a buddy cop film where she gets partnered with a chimpanzee (I like that one).<\/p>\n

Take this idea and run with it. Just let me retain merchandising and sequel rights.<\/p>\n
