NFL wide receiver Terrell Owens is shopping around a TV show in which he would portray a character based on himself in a sitcom called “8 & 1” according to the Daily.com.
He would play opposite actors inspired by his real-life baby mamas and kids, Owens told Flash exclusively.
“It’s loosely based on my life and my career. I have four kids by three different moms,” T.O. said. “It will showcase my skills as an actor, which is something I want to do after football.”
In “8 & 1” — a play on T.O.’s number 81 — Owens would play an NFL star named Terrell O’Neal nearing the end of his career who lives with his mother, his best friend, two baby mamas, and four kids.
The idea for the show was born in 2006, says creator Courtney Parker, a former writer for “Law & Order: Criminal Intent” and longtime T.O. pal.
“Terrell had an incident when he was in Dallas when he had that accidental overdose and mixed painkillers with supplements,” Parker said. “The crazier that T.O. would be on the field, the smaller the Terrell we all knew and love became. If you knew him, you’d understand the personality he invented was for football. I thought the tension would be an interesting show.”
