Cole Porter was short and balding. Fred Astaire was short and balding. When Astaire found out they were making a movie about Porter he went to Cole’s house to lobby for the role.
‘Sorry, Fred. I’m having Cary Grant play me.’
‘Cary Grant? He’s a foot taller than you! You don’t look anything at all like Cary Grant.’
‘I know exactly what I look like. The people who see the movie won’t!’
I once had two women fight with knives to see which one would get me! One of them got me here and one got me here. (How I point out a couple of scars.)
Some reason i fixated on Douglas Fairbanks Jr, or Clark Gable, as John. (In their prime) He has that certain panache that we no longer see in acting. Also fits with most of his comic motifs. As for more current actors, I’d vote for Christian Bale. Having settled that question, let’s move on to the ladies…
Heck – why stop at “current day” actors? Let’s raid the “Golden Era” of movies as well! (If you go by his avatar, John could be played by Clark Gable…)
I can’t play me, I’m all wrong for the part. At least that’s probably what the Director will say.
Which brings up the question, who will the Director be? Not Jar Jar Abrams, he’ll just take a cannon to your canon. Not Michael Bay, he’ll blow up any woman John tries to get close to. ☺
Sorry, John I wanted to comment about this work when it came out! TABLET went wayhoone shape. My comment is ;If this movie is animated use Sam Elliott s voice for you! Me well I am a inland Mainer ,tough call !

I only hope they don’t retcon the bear and make him romance Goldilocks.

You got me all excited. I thought Brad and Chris were going to be the romantic leads.

And gorgeous sexy actresses are vying for the romantic roles opposite John. Just say you’re not employing the casting couch, John.

Rated NC-17. If they cut out everything they need to to get an “R” rating it would only qualify for a Short Subject Oscar.

I can be played by Dennis Haysbert. I look just like him… somewhat… a little bit… not really…but my voice is just like his… listen… oh never mind…
