Lamar Odom‘s book is making headlines but the former NBA star has bigger plans for his life story — the silver screen.
The former Mr. Khloé Kardashian is in New York City promoting his memoir, “Darkness to Light,” when he was asked what he hopes people take away from his story.
“Hopefully it will make them stronger,” Odom said.
Odom then said he thought his story could be made into a movie and said he’s actually had talks about doing just that.
In an excerpt from the book obtained by PEOPLE, Lamar Odom expressed his regret for cheating on Khloé Kardashian during their four-year marriage.
“I could not handle the lethal cocktail of the spotlight, addiction, a diminishing career and infidelity,” Lamar writes. “Oh, did I mention the paranoia, anxiety, depression … I couldn’t keep my d**k in my pants or the coke out of my nose. Drug addicts are incredibly skilled at hiding their habit. I’d get defensive and Khloé would just drop it.”
Odom told PEOPLE that he “hopes” to be friends with Kardashian again and says, “I miss the family. And I hope we can all be reacquainted one day.”
