Listen up, ladies!

If Olympic hottie Ryan Lochte does decide to become ABC's next Bachelor, host Chris Harrison says there's one condition—the 28-year-old gold medalist must wear his teeny tiny swimming suit for the entire season.

"That's part of the deal" Harrison told us at The Expendables 2 premiere in Hollywood.

"Did you see him in his Speedo?" Harrison laughed. "I mean, all of America stopped. It's a female driven show, come on!"

"That's fine," Lochte told us of sporting a Speedo at all times on the show. "I already am. There's not much of a difference."

Lochte and Harrison met while walking the Expendables 2 red carpet last night. Speedos aside, Harrison says Lochte has his vote for becoming the next Bachelor.

"I think it would be awesome," Harrison said. "I think if he promises not to pee in the pool, we'll be alright."

"If it gets asked towards me, I'd definitely consider it," Lochte said of looking for love on The Bachelor. "So we'll see what happens."

Now we want to hear from you. Do you think Lochte should be the next Bachelor? Sound off below.

Olympic hot bods!
