Ryan Lochte is ready to become the next Kim Kardashian…

The 28-year-old competitive swimmer, an eleven-time Olympic medalist, is preparing to launch his new reality television show What Would Ryan Lochte Do?, which premiere on E! later this month.

Last week, Lochte told the Hollywood Reporter that he decided to go the reality TV route to become the next Kim Kardashian.

“I have the most respect for her with her business and what she’s done. She started from nothing and now look at her. You can ask anyone and they’re going to know who she is. She’s handled herself really well throughout the years of doing her own show. She’s a star,” said Ryan. “That’s what I want to do.”

Lochte hopes his new reality show will bring him a new status.

“I’ve seen what E! has done in the past with reality shows like hers. Today, she’s huge,” he said, adding that his current profession has its benefits.

“Not to have a big head about it, but people love me. When I walk down the street, people recognize me, and that never happened before. Now’s my chance. Anything I do, I do 110 percent. I don’t half-ass it,” said Ryan.

To prepare himself for his new show, Lochte watched Kourtney and Kim Take Miami. “The whole Kardashian family, they have a bunch of energy. Wow, this was awesome. That’s how my family is. We all have a bunch of energy and we are all different,” he commented on the family.

Now that filming of his new show has finished, Lochte is now back in Gainesville, Florida to get ready for the world championships in Barcelona this July.

“I’m back in my normal routine, getting my butt whipped all the time,” he said.

What Would Ryan Lochte Do? premieres on E! on April 21.

In the clip, Lochte is shown at swimming practice, showing off his sports car and personalized tennis shoes, and going shirtless while playing some football.

Set to premiere this April, the show will follow the Olympic swimmer as “he prepares for the Rio games in 2016 while building his fashion line, making buzz-worthy media appearances, dealing with his unconventional family and loyal friends and, always, searching for ‘the one.'”

It also offers “unpredictable, unfiltered and delightfully uninhibited ‘Lochteisms’,” including his signature phrase, “Jeah!”

Lochte to Star in His Own E! Reality Television Show

Ryan Lochte isn’t getting an E! True Hollywood Story… No, he’s getting a real Hollywood story on E!

The 28-year-old Olympic swimming star, who won five medals at the 2012 London Games, will star in his own reality show on E!.

The network has ordered six episodes of What Would Ryan Lochte Do, which will take viewers “inside the unpredictable and offbeat life of the 2012 London Olympic Games’ breakout star.” The show will follow Lochte as he searches for the “right gal” and continues his training regimen.

During E!’s TV critics press tour panel in Pasadena, a sneak preview of the show was screened for reporters. Lochte came off a little dense, like a male version of Jessica Simpson.

“I don’t even know what is a douchebag,” said the swimmer, who’s been called America’s Sexiest Douchebag. “I don’t even know what it means.”

“How many people fall in love with the smartest guy in the class? They fall for the fastest swimmer,” E! President Suzanne Kolb told EW.

The show represents a slight a departure from E!’s traditional television fare; the network typically features shows starring females. Although, Lochte – who was featured in People’s Sexiest Man Alive issue – has no shortage of female appeal.

“He is an incredibly endearing personality who is sexy, entertaining and fun,” Kolb noted in a statement. “Watching this show, I believe people will fall into three categories: they want to be him, sleep with him or mother him.”

E! promises the show, which debuts in April, will feature plenty of “Lochteisms,” such as his “Jeah” catchphrase and this quote: “I always pee in a pool. Doesn’t everyone?”
