Dennis Rodman is a basketball legend in Chicago. He helped the Chicago Bulls win 5 NBA Championship and was the leading rebounder in the NBA for several seasons. However, he also lived a ‘wild’ life, which involved a lot of on-court and off-court antics.

The resurfaced clip in an “X” post comprising two people, Dennis Rodman and the late singing legend, Pete Burns who tragically passed away because of a cardiac arrest in 2016.

This incident took place when the 5x NBA champion was a “celebrity contestant” in the famous “Big Brother” reality TV show in 2006. Dennis Rodman was caught snoring loudly by the singing legend, the late Pete Burns, during bedtime. He then told the sleeping Rodman to “shut up” in frustration.

 

Rodman has been a part of many hilarious TV incidents in the past but this one is definitely one of the best.

Dennis Rodman’s acting career

Apart from dominating on the basketball court, the Chicago Bulls legend also acted in a lot of TV shows and Hollywood movies. Rodman made his feature film debut in 1997’s Double Team alongside Hollywood action star, Jean-Claude Van Damme. The duo played an arms dealer and a spy, respectively.

The movie brought in only $11 million at the box office, which was less than what was expected out of it. Nonetheless, he was the lead actor in two other movies, just two years later. 1999’s “Simon Sez”, was an even bigger disaster. Against a $10 million production budget, the movie earned just $292,000.

After that devastating failure, Rodman’s acting career didn’t persist much longer. He joined the cast of action TV series Soldier of Fortune, Inc. He also starred in a 2000 TV movie titled Cutaway. Since then, most of his acting roles are limited to cameos as himself.
