Movie Planned About NFL Cheerleader Laura Vikmanis

With her blonde hair, killer moves and taut abs, Laura Vikmanis looks like a typical NFl cheerleader, but she has one major difference that sets her apart from the rest of the squad. The trainer, dietician and mom is 42 years old—the oldest cheerleader in the NFL. Back in 2009, Vikmanis tried out for the Cincinnati Bengals’ Ben-Gals squad and won a spot. Now her story has grabbed the attention of Hollywood producers, who want to turn her life story into a film. Writer Kathy Greenberg told The Hollywood Reporter, “It’s really a feel good populist story in the vein of ‘Blind Side.’ It’s got more comedy to be sure, but it’s an earnest story.” What inspired the mother of two teenage daughters to go out for cheerleading in the first place? After her marriage ended, Vikmanis was restless. “I was at a point in my life where I was like, ‘What do I really want to do? What’s something in my life that makes me happy?’ I went to a couple games and saw the cheerleaders and thought that looked really, really fun.” So how do her girls feel? “When I finally made it they were in tears and just so excited. They have been behind me 100 percent. … My children thought it was cool, but I don’t think they understood fully until they went to the game and actually saw me on the field. They think it’s so cool.” New Line Cinema has picked up the rights to the Vikmanis story, so let’s hope there will be a film very soon.
