Marshawn Lynch does not like having the spotlight shined on him. Just look at how he acted during Super Bowl media day earlier this year. But despite that, he just revealed that he's going to star in a new movie soon.

The movie will be about Lynch's own life, which will make playing the part a little easier. But still, doesn't that seem a little bit weird considering how much "Beast Mode" hates having the camera on him? Er, apparently not.

"For me, it's just about having fun," he said recently. "It's just a fun experience. I also get to shine light on the community [of Oakland] and some of the things that we grew up doing and what we went through…I'm more than happy to play myself."

The movie, which is going to be called Family First, doesn't have a release date yet. But Lynch said that it is happening. So stay tuned to hear more about it.
