Ryan Lochte wants 750k dollars to star in 'The Bachelor'

Washington, August 22 (ANI): Olympic champion Ryan Lochte has asked for a fee of 750,000 dollars for starring in ABC's reality show 'The Bachelor.'

His team also said that the number could very quickly climb to 1 million dollars if the TV network was truly interested in him.

"Ryan's agents are getting besieged with offers and deals, everything from The Bachelor, his own reality show, and some overseas movies," Radar Online quoted a source as saying.

The representatives will be presenting all the current offers to him in the next week or so, and the decisions will need to be made quickly.

"Ryan is acutely aware that he has to attach himself to the right projects and endorsements that won't do damage to his all American image," the source said.

"As much as he'd like to do it, Ryan does have some reservations about The Bachelor because he wouldn't have any control on how he is portrayed on the show," the source added.

In addition to 'The Bachelor,' the 11-time medalist has also been eyeing dancing show 'Dancing with the Stars,' and will be appearing in an upcoming episode of TV series '90210.' (ANI)
