Kicking Michael Phelps

2016 olympics mens swimming[Blind Gossip] This under-30 male celebrity is either supremely confident… or delusional.

He was watching some of the Olympic swimming events, and declared that what the athletes were doing “isn’t hard” and that with a little training, he “could compete in the next Olympics.”

He was going “I could do that!” The dude can barely swim but he thinks that what they were doing isn’t hard and if he starts training now he could compete in the next Olympics. He actually called his trainer and asked how long it would take to get him trained up to compete. When he hung up, he goes “In four years I’m going to be kicking Michael Phelp’s ass!”

He also thinks that he is a really good actor, so he may not be the best judge of his own abilities.

    Why isn’t anyone saying Jaden Smith?

    Arrogant, not a good actor, not right in the head, etc..

    Clue: “Kicking” Micheal Phelps
    He starred in Karate Kid.

    Tim Tebow
    I don’t consider him an actor.. but IMDB has him listed as an actor and there was a report somewhere that he was considering going from the NFL to MLB.

  4. TheRevanchist says

    Why is it I can totally picture Patrick Kane saying this while floating in a giant rubber duck on his lake?

  5. JennyJustice says

    Thinking he’s a good actor clue = Justin Timberlake for the win! Winning the blind guess, not swimming…or acting.

  8. Lebowski says

    A bunch of great guesses – but only one of these punks is sub-30 and cocky enough to say something as stupid as this – and the winner is Bieber. * of the earth.

  16. butwhatever says

    I haven’t heard that he’s in Rio, but there’s only one sufficiently massive * . . . Bieber. Why does he think he’s–oh wait, that would involve thinking. NVM

  22. spookie says

    This sounds like the Biebs.

    Optional: I was 10 in 1996 watching the Magnificent Seven take gymnastics to a whole new level, so yeah I was entranced! I quit after 3 years, because hypermobility was a huge problem for me. Now I’m happy to watch Simone Biles do her thing.

    Justin Bieber

    (No such thing as a “little training” to become an athlete.)

    No/Yes. I wanted to play in the NBA, but knew from my experiences with Pro Ballers I met that I had no chance because there were guys better than me didn’t make it, either.

  29. jonesing says

    Beiber? Optional: Wanted to be in track and field in the Olympics. Also thought that the marathon was awesome and there weren’t women in it back in the early 70’s. Maybe if they gave out gold medals in high school I would have competed 😉 Nahhh, who am I kiddying.

    Somthing tells me this is little Justin Beiber babbling his nonsense. The boy, while being a gifted singer to some extent, just doesn’t seem to have that much upstairs. He should hook up with Brittany Spears and they could combine and have 15 or so brain cells. If it’s not him, then the only other arrogant, unimpportant and uninformed person would be the guy from the Kardashians (Scott) as he doesn’t seem that bright either.

    I hope this is Zac Efron. I find this endearing. Whoever this is, he’s delusional and it’s hilarious ?

  37. toniclovesdenver says

    I know it says under 30 so my guess is wrong, however the first person that popped into my mind was Kanye West, because he thinks he is the ruler of the world and better at everything than anyone.

  38. richie guy says

    Sounds like a person with Grandiose ideation maybe bipolar,
    could be a few people. My guess is Bieber.

  39. eryncuz88 says

    LOL is this Bieber?
    No, I never dreamed of being a pro athlete. I danced ballet and jazz and did acrobats all through grade school, but I knew I would never want the stress of doing that professionally. Plus I was never that good haha

  43. ccattwood says

    Justin Bieber? Yes, I had that Olympic dream as a girl growing up. My biggest dream, though, was that Jon Schneider would lay eyes on me and fall madly in love and marry me (I was 9 then, but who is to say what might happen down the road??)

  45. Prosecco-Saurus says

    I can imagine that little twerp Justin Bieber doing this.

    Definitely have no Olympic aspirations of my own – I’m aware of my limitations!

  48. DillyDally says

    If it didn’t say under-30 actor , I would say for sure Kanye. Sounds like one of his delusions.

  50. HotTeacher88 says

    My guess is Beiber. Hell, no, I wouldn’t compete. I think it’s ridiculous to put all that time energy money and life’s blood into something like that for such a short amount of time. It’s just as dumb as when a poor country puts all its resources into preparing for it.

    • Vampira says

      It’s not a short amount of time, it’s basically a career if your good enough. That’s where all the endorsement money comes in.

  53. aligirl21 says

    I don’t know, but he’s delusional. This story reminds me of a guy my cousin dated for a few years. He was a ballet dancer in regional productions, and he was in his late 30s. For some reason, he got it into his head that, with “a bit of training,” he could easily play pro (American) football(!). That was a completely delusional idea for so many reasons. Did I forget to mention that he had never played it in high-school or college? People are insane.
