Ayesha Curry & Lindsay Lohan Turn Mentor For Steph as ‘Mr. Throwback’ Ignites His Acting Aspirations

Have you ever wondered what’s next for Stephen Curry? Maybe we don’t want to think about it, but at 36, the day to close the closet on his jersey is approaching perilously. Golf can be a great post-retirement plan for Steph, but don’t be surprised if you continue to see him on the TV screen taking inspiration from wife, Ayesha Curry, but just not in a Warriors thread.

No, he’s not leaving, but a plan for his post-retirement career came to light during his latest appearance at the TODAY plaza. There he talked about his new children’s graphic novel “Sports Superheroes Volume #1: Stephen Curry” and also he hinted at a potential switch following in his wife’s footsteps, but not to be a chef, ironically.

When asked about whether he will continue his acting venture, Curry had a straight answer. “Possibly. You know, my wife’s acted a little bit, so I got a little bit of training at home from her. She did the movie with Lindsay Lohan last year. And so it’s cool to kinda get in that world,” Curry said. Ayesha featured alongside Lindsay Lohan in the 2024 Netflix rom-com, Irish Wish. Mrs. Curry played the role of Heather, best friend to Lohan’s character Maddie Kelly. The movie received mixed reviews at the box office, but Lohan earned universal praise for her performance.

Curry’s mockumentary, titled “Mr. Throwback” aired on Peacock on August 8 and will again feature on NBC on September 12, 2024, as part of their “Must See TV” era. So taking inspiration from her and wifey, Curry can look forward to honing his craft as a movie star, something he plans on continuing in life beyond the NBA.

Steph and Ayesha Curry’s post-retirement vision with their foundation
Apart from bringing joy to millions of his fans with his on-court magnificence, Curry aims to deliver a different side of entertainment with his Unanimous Media. The 4-time NBA Champion envisioned to continue doing just that after his career on the hardboard. Speaking about it to CNBC, Curry discussed his plans to be on TV with his production company, something he already discussed with LeBron James during their Olympic outing.

“Everything that we’re doing now is setting up a foundation,” Curry said during his appearance on Squawk on the Street. “Whether it’s through TV, through film, through podcasting, through publishing so that we have, kind of roots in expressing this content in a way that brings families together, brings people together, inspires the next generation, and it amplifies everything I’m trying to do.”

He mentioned the role of his Eat.Learn.Play Foundation to help the communities as well as a part of his retired life. Ayesha Curry is also involved in all the projects of the foundation. They have pledged a $25 million investment that will be fulfilled over the next five years to pull up the literacy rate in Oakland. “When we launched Eat. Learn. Play. five years ago, we set out to provide opportunities to ensure every student in Oakland had the resources they need to be healthy and thrive,” Stephen and Ayesha said in a press release.

This project will help the Oakland Unified School District students who are at least two grades behind in reading and there will be almost 10,000 free seats available. All this only indicates Curry’s wish to remain a big part of the lives of the millions of people he has touched with his basketball talent. And there’s no denying that those fans will be more than happy to see Curry’s face on their TV screens frequently through these endeavors, even if it’s not wearing a team’s jersey.
