Hollywood, home to some of the biggest stars on earth, soon may have to make room for the biggest star of all. Former sumo wrestler Konishiki on Thursday revealed his plans to make it big in Tinseltown.
"Probably this year I'll get into more TV dramas or something. Maybe next year I'll get into movies," the 38-year-old said at a luncheon at the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan (FCCJ) in Tokyo. "I've been approached by a lot of people. Went to Hollywood, talked to a lot of people there. I'm just waiting for the right time and to make sure I make the right choices."
Konishiki hasn't left the public eye since retiring in 1997. He frequently appears in commercials and on television shows, cut a rap album and has joined the lecture circuit. More importantly, he is having a blast.
