Although there are plenty of meh examples of athlete cameos, you also occasionally get credible performances, like John Cena and LeBron James in Trainwreck.
It’s not super often that athletes really translate well when they get into the acting business.
I’m not sure I was expecting Joanna Krupa to shout Gronkowski’s accolades when she was asked about the gig, but this is still — mostly — a markedly honest answer, and I’m really happy she gave it.
Still, I see why these opportunities happen for athletes.
