TMZ interview proves new Dodger Brian Wilson is already a famous Hollywood star

After the Dodgers signed free agent Brian Wilson on Tuesday, it didn't take long for the right-hander to get the full paparazzi treatment in Los Angeles.

Wilson made just two appearances for the Giants last season before undergoing Tommy John surgery and has spent the last 15 months rebuilding arm strength. He told TMZ he was "(bleeping) excited" to join the Dodgers organization.

"I'm a pretty big America fan," he said, wearing an appropriately patriotic tank top. "Red, white and Dodger blue."

If he seems like an interview pro, that's because this isn't Wilson's -- nor his beard's -- first encounter with the Hollywood media.

We give it six months before he's co-starring in a reality show with LiLo.
