Would you have guessed LeBron James is a fan of Downton Abbey? That must be true, because he says so in the trailer for Judd Apatow’s new film, Trainwreck, starring Amy Schumer (who also wrote the script) and Bill Hader.
Schumer plays a promiscuous magazine writer asked to do a story on a sports doctor, portrayed by Hader. During their first interview, King James walks into the doc’s office to ask if he’s ready to watch Downton Abbey later that evening. If not, James is watching the show anyway, because there’s no way he’s going to practice and listening to his teammates talk about it. (Maybe we’ll find out in the movie which other Cavs players are Downton Abbey fans.)
Here’s the red band trailer for Trainwreck, which means it’s not safe for work.
Based on the trailer, it looks like James has more than one scene. Another sports star making an appearance in the movie is WWE wrestler John Cena, though he doesn’t appear to be playing himself. (And actually, we don’t know if James is playing himself or an unnamed pro basketball player. But wouldn’t it be more fun if he’s playing LeBron James?)
Trainwreck is set to hit theaters on July 17.
