Shaquille O’Neal has left basketball for an even bigger dream for a bigger man — movie directing!
Apparently he’s finishing up the filmmaker conservatory at the New York Film Academy’s branch in Universal Studios!
Shaq’s been very hands-on during directing and cinematography classes — walking his crew through stunts (above photo) and shooting on the studio’s famous back lot.
According to the school, Shaq has been “incredibly humble, funny, and likable” or just the usual Shaq.
We’re ready for our close up, Mr. O’Neal!
And, we’re ready for Steel 2! YEAH!
