Sir Elton John, formerly bald, is planning to make a film about his life. And boy what a life! All that having sex and taking drugs! The travelling around the world! The outfits! That bit when he wrote that song.
The trips to the hairdressers too! Amazing.
And so, talking about this flick, Elt’ has named Justin Timberlake as his “number one” choice. They do look like each other don’t they? No. Not at all. That’s the answer you’re looking for.
Yeah. You heard.
Elton John (real name Method Man) is moving forward with his plans to turn his life into a movie-musical with a little help from his film producer partner David Furnish and Billy Elliot writer Lee Hall.
The Rocketman movie is going to tell the story of Elton’s life and career through his music. Obviously, he didn’t write the words for his songs, but y’know, it’ll do.
And Sir Elton wants Justin Timberlake to tackle the lead role.
He told the LA Times:
“(It is) very much in the works. We’re making an announcement about that very, very soon. We have a director on board, and then it’s just going to be a matter of getting the script exactly the way we want it…
“I’ve got a wish list of people (for the lead role). Number one on my wish list is Justin Timberlake, because he played me before in a David LaChapelle video… and was superb.”
Watch it here and try and work out what’s going on with Timberlake’s jaw and teeth.
