ESPN The Magazine's latest issue is 'Athletes Go Hollywood' and features many of today's top athletes recreating iconic movie scenes.

Every movie from 'Pulp Fiction' to 'Anchorman' is covered by football players, stock car drivers, and hockey players. The 'Athletes Go Hollywood' issue picks up right where the infamous 'Body Issue' featuring nude sports stars left off.

Check out a few images from ESPN The Magazine's latest issue and be sure to pick it up on newsstands as well. That Bengals 'Hangover' picture could be worth something someday.
