If you could direct a movie of your life, who'd play you?

[Mr Allen]

Topic.

Can be anyone famous or not from both sides of the Pond!

Ellen Page. I loved her in Juno, and some of the characteristics of her character in that resemble me.

 

[Alcyon]

If the actor was cast based upon how I perceive myself, maybe a young Clint Eastwood?

If based on how others perceive me, ummm, Pee Wee Herman?

 

[ChrisN]

Ed Wood, Jr.

 

[Judge]

This old fellow. Close enough!

Besides, Martin Clunes (Doc Martin) was unavailable and doesn't look like me.

Nope...I don't like Vodka Martinis- shaken or stirred.

 

[Mr Allen]

Eddie Redmayne with blonde hair as me.

Well if he can play Stephen Hawking, an eccentric Scientist, he can play an Aspie.

No idea, I've never seen an actor that looks anything like me; I have a baby face on a giants body.
In terms of personality and mannerisms, I would say Benedict Cumberbatch. If he can pull off Sherlock he can act as me.

I mulled over this for quite some time. My decision was fraught with indecision as there were so many choices. At first,I considered many of the Disney strumpets,but wasn't sure whose reputation would destroy the image of the others
The I went down the list of the many popular female actresses,but either the hair color was wrong,or they would have to undergo massive surgery to make them look like I do,so that's not an option

Ok,moving along now,having a female won't work,so next I had to choose from the men. Nick Cage...na,the personality isn't a fit,and besides that,I'm waaaay cooler than Nick
Keifer Sutherland? Might work,but he will have to grow some more hair for the role...I'm talkin' a lot of hair. How long until the production date?
Steve McQueen...he's cool enough,but digging him up may present an obstacle...nope,might stink a little too
I tried to get Clint Eastwood to play me,but he said he was only willing if he got to direct the film,and artistic differences WERE going to clash from day one

After considerable time was spent trying to find a match,I decided to use my powers as the director to insist that I got to choose who would play the leading man. You guessed it,I chose me to play me,just to keep it as authentic as possible. Sorry Disney gutter girls,better luck next time

 

[WereBear]

She doesn't look much like me, but Sigourney Weaver is so good an actress, it doesn't matter

 

[clg114]

Billy Bob Thornton, if he would gain 40 lb.

 

[Mia]

Sophie Lorain

 

[Meg12]

I've been told I look like this lady and Courtney Cox (before all the botox!

 

[Meg12]

Wednesday Addams would be most accurate overall

 

[Judge]

Billy Bob Thornton, if he would gain 40 lb.

Voila:

 

[Alcyon]

I just asked my friend, who watches only classic movies, who should play me. It took her about one minute to say Spencer Tracy. I could think of worse.

 

[jamesaldrin]

Hugh Jackman. Sometimes I feel like I look like him - especially when I grow out my beard and hair.

 

[Bolletje]

Natasha Lyonne. Lots of similar mannerisms.

 

[nowwhat]

Eric Idle.

 

[Mr Allen]

In a few years, if he's still with us John Cleese could play an older version of me

Well Basil Fawlty was a bit bonkers, a bit like me lol.

Looks like Princess Sofia of Sweden to me.

If I flatter myself, I'd choose Gwyneth Paltrow - but maybe I'm more of a Renée Zellweger. Yes I know they're both Americans famous for playing Brits - make of that what you will.
