He's a world-class athlete, an entrepreneur, and a reality star...but Ryan Lochte won't let that stop him from just being Ryan Lochte.

"No matter what happens, I'm gonna stay true to myself," Lochte told E! News. "I'm just gonna be the same person that I was when I was 11 years old, throwing rocks at cars. Being a mischief guy."

That mischief is apparent from the very first episode of What Would Ryan Lochte Do?, premiering Sunday at 10/9c. In it, Lochte goofs around with his family and pulls pranks on his little brother. "When my family gets together, it's not normal," he admitted.

Check out the rest of the interview above, and be sure to tune in for the series premiere of What Would Ryan Lochte Do? this Sunday, April 21 at 10/9c, only on E!
