![Kobe Bryant First Athlete to Be Immortalized at Mann Chinese Theater]()
Whenever a tourist heads out to Los Angeles, one of the things on the list of things to do, next to visiting the Hollywood sign and the Walk of Fame, is visiting the Mann Chinese Theater. It's the theater where many a movie star hosts premiere parties for a new film. Out in front of the venue are the hands and feet imprints of stars like Marilyn Monroe, Brad Pitt, John Wayne, Arnold Schwarzenegger among others.
Now Kobe Bryant is the next celeb to have his feet and hands enshrined at the theater, making him the first athlete to have the honor. "To be a part of such elite company is a tremendous honor," Bryant said in a statement. "I'm proud to be the first athlete to be recognized."
Bryant will, however, be getting his acting on soon though. Apparently Kobe Bean will be working with director
Robert Rodriguez (
Spy Kids, Sin City) on a short film to promote his new shoe,
Zoom Kobe VI. Check out a couple of teasers of the upcoming project:
