Richard Simmons Has a Bone to (Bio)Pick with Pauly Shore

Looks like Pauly Shore's got a new movie project. The “Encino Man” actor is set to star as famed fitness guru Richard Simmons in a new biopic. Pauly has said for awhile that he’d like to play the tank-top-and-short-shorts-wearing man who gave us “Sweatin’ to the Oldies.” And fans online have been praying for this too. Looks like their dreams will be answered. But Richard, who’s been totally off the grid for the last decade, has now broken his silence and wants to make it clear he’s not involved in the project. So will it still “work out” for Pauly to play Richard, or should he be sweating it out? Listen to Rich and Daily on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.
