Bruce Jenner is not a Regular Guy

Bruce Jenner is not a regular guy.  For one thing, he won a gold medal for the decathlon in the 1976 Summer Olympics.  Following that athletic milestone, he appeared on everyone’s breakfast table as a box of Wheaties.  Bruce Jenner even took up acting.  In 1980 he starred in a movie called Can’t Stop the Music.  He was promptly awarded a Golden Raspberry Award for worst actor of the year.  The movie was awarded a Golden Raspberry for worst picture of 1980.   He took up acting again in 2011 and played a role in the movie Jack and Jill.  That movie was similarly awarded a Golden Raspberry for worst picture.

Not regular guy stuff there.

More recently, Bruce Jenner has started becoming even less a regular guy by seeming to transform into a frightfully awkward woman.  The weird thing is that he is apparently becoming a woman on purpose.  You cannot predict what famous athletes will do these days.  I suppose that transforming your sex is a far better outlet for the athletic whatever-they-haves than slugging your future wife in the elevator or taking a bunch of drugs that turn your muscles into freakish robots and your brain into so much mush, but that hardly make watching the transformation any easier.

Maybe Bruce Jenner will eventually become a 6’-2” swan and look stunning in a full evening gown.  Perhaps he will star in a movie that harvests an Academy Award.

Again, not regular guy stuff.

As a rule I don’t follow athletics or athletes, but I am rather interested to see how the story of Bruce Jenner develops.  This one might be going places.
