Who Would Play 'You' in a Hollywood Blockbuster?

March 26th 2008 03:36

If Hollywood made a movie about your life, whom would you like to see play the lead role as you?

Would is be one of the pretty boys like Pitt or a glamour like Lauren Bacall?

Would Humphrey Bogart get your nod of approval or would Drew Barrymore be your first choice?

Perhaps you're more the Charles Bronson type - or maybe Ingrid Bergman?

From where I sit - the jury is still out - though Harrison Ford does have a huge amount of appeal.

Would love to hear who you'd have in mind.

Celebrity Obsession

How does that line from Scream go.....

With my luck they'd cast Tori Spelling

Na, if they made a movie about me, I think I'd like to see someone like Drew Barrymore play me. She's got that laid back fun vibe about her. Or if I was going to be a brunette, I think I'd like Janeane Garofolo (I love her). Though she'd be able to spit out those bitchy one-liners and smart ass comebacks better than I do.

Someone beautiful and fabulous of course. Ha.

Because of your tag I just can't get past you being Don Adams, MNG!! But let's go with Harrison. Lol.

Trace - you have to be Catherine Zeta, Welsh beauty.

Kylie - yeah you need someone with a bit of edge and sass!

Hey Kylie

Don't you just love Barrymore (Drew that is) - soooo laid back - she rates right up there in our family alongside Sandra Bullock in the fun stakes.

Cheers

I think I'm going to accept Michaelie's suggestion of Catherine Zeta-Jones, thank-you.

After all, I'm a brunette, I have curves and I'm Welsh...but I'm not rich, tall, nor can I act.

Ah well

...and from the Land of de Nial (Ejipped) comes this bit of whimsy...

Angelina Jolie. But only as Lara Croft.

Oh hang on. Who would play me fullstop? Not who would play me as I would like to be?

Hmm...Geena Davis maybe?
...she's quirky and goofy! Plus we're both Aquarians, play the drums and do archery (albeit she's almost Olympic level and I'm...not).
Oh...and she and I are the same height. Give or take 3.5 inches...

I just love love love her in 'Long Kiss Goodnight'.

...Hope you're well MNG...cool post but quite an embarrassing question really! Indicative of self-esteem maybe? Or self inflation??

(I say this because Geena Davis is a Mensa member. Yes she has a genius IQ...oh we're just so alike... hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahaha!!!)

Who would I want to play me? That would be Angelina Jolie.

Who would play me? The reality check says Parker Posie. She's a hoot and a holler, insanely crazy and a bit bitchy at times. That's me in a nutshell.

My only other suggestion would be that the Welsh need a new fly-half for the 5-nations.

I'd stick with Catherine

I actually got to meet Geena about 10 years ago - Mensa you say - she must've dumbed down for my benefit.

I'm sure you'd still outgun Geena when it came to the audition for the role of Wonder Woman though

Stay well.

Dunno about her role in Dude Where's My Car - but great in Pearl Harbour (not much kick ass goin on there from her) - but fab in Alias.

Nice choice

People I know say that Jack Black's hyperactive character in High Fidelity is a direct mirror of my own persona.....though i am a skinny lad.

My ego would love to say Sean Penn, Steve McQueen or Lee Marvin, sadly the truth is probably closer too Mel Gibson.

MNG,

they get harder you know...your questions I mean.

I am many people and don't think anyone could play me, butwhen I was younger (around the Karen Silkwood days) someone said Meryl Streep, could do a great job ... I am not sure about the Devil Wears Prada... perhaps Meryl and I would have had to split ways about half way through 'my career...'

Perhaps nowadays more like Penelope Cruise for her spirit and temper, although my hair is a fiery redder brunette and not so long... but the fiesty gypsy flame burns there too I think.

Sandra Bullock could probably also do the 'best me' these days especially after taking 28 days and copying my 'snort-laugh' ... *chuckle* ... and particularly when driving buses... now all I need is a Keanu to come along ... who's playing you, maybe I'll bet lucky?

*winks and hugs*

Lilla ...

hmmm kate winslet . . . scarlett johansson . . . or chloe sevigny . . . they all have a nice earthy screen presence . . . even though all those fair haired, blue eyed beauties look nothing like me lol

perhaps a male actor in drag, like cillian murphy or orlando bloom?

nope still too slender and pretty . . . i think it would be kathy bates or phillip seymour hoffman haha

Although I would love to say someone as georgeous as Jennifer Aniston or Keira Knightley or Drew Barrymore should play me, I fear that it would end up with someone closer to Steve Buschemi in a dress. LMAO At least he has a great sense of humor, eh?
