Fans likely know Jimmie Allen as a country musician, but soon they might know him for his skills at the bowling alley, too. The singer is currently working on becoming a professional bowler, and he plans to try out for the Professional Bowlers Association in January.
“I actually move my schedule around, like, move shows around and stuff like that, to get into bowling tournaments,” he reveals in a Billboard video as one item in a list of five little-known facts about himself.
“Being a professional bowler is on my bucket list and something I’m wanting to do,” he adds.
That’s not the only sport Jimmie says he’d like to take up. “I wanna be a WWE professional wrestler,” he says. “And, like, tour and do matches and stuff. I wanna do that. That’s in there, as well.”
Jimmie might encounter a conflict in achieving that dream, though, since he’s not a huge fan of going to the gym. Still, he says he’d be willing to do things he doesn’t necessarily love in the name of achieving his goals.
“I’m a competitive person. So whatever needs to be done to get that job done, that’s what I’ll do. So if I need to get a little stronger, put on a little size, look bigger for camera, I’ll do that. Because it’s required of the job,” he reasons.
In the more short-term future, though, Jimmie’s taking another step toward country superstardom with the release of his third album, Tulip Drive, on Friday.
