Marshawn Lynch is taking advantage of his NFL retirement by venturing into acting, featuring in the movie titled 'Bottoms.' In the film, Lynch plays the role of 'Mr. G' in the film and it has sent NFL fans into a tizzy.
Seeing the posters featuring the former NFL star was enough to get them to comment. The main contention of most posters was how it looked like a throwback to old times. It featured a plain poster with all the cast inside it.
Hence, some people commented how they would expect to find it in the CD bins in Walmart. Others turned on the nostalgia and remembered the decades gone by and were worried if the movie was going to be good or terrible. Others, meanwhile, were genuinely flummoxed as to what the former football star was doing in a movie.
Here is a selection of some of the best reactions on Reddit.
