LeBron James is to star alongside Amy Schumer, Tilda Swinton, Bill Hader and Method Man in acclaimed director Judd Apatow’s next movie, Trainwreck.
The two-time NBA champ and four-time NBA most valuable player is currently trying to lead the Miami Heat to its third consecutive championship, a fact Apatow seems to have a tenuous grip on.
“I know you’re very busy with the playoffs,” Apatow says in a video posted to his Facebook page. “You need to win a certain amount of games to win … er … something. But I just wanted to say we’re so glad that you are joining the cast … and now the world will finally get to see what your true gifts are.”
James is already involved with two other Universal ventures — a comedy called Ballers alongside Kevin Hart, and an offering based on his high school years in Ohio.
