Big news in Hollywood, folks! Dave Franco has opened up about the possibility of playing the infamous Luigi Mangione in a potential biopic. While chatting with Andy Cohen on ‘Watch What Happens Live,’ Franco revealed that no one has officially approached him for the role yet, but it’s a hot topic of conversation among his friends and family. I can just imagine them saying, “You totally look like him!” while trying to convince him to take on the character’s notorious antics.
Franco says this is the one question he’s asked more than anything else—who knew that the resemblance would lead to such a running gag? From what we gather, it seems tons of folks think he’d be the perfect fit, and I have to agree. Just picture him rocking that iconic moustache! The thought alone is hilarious, and if it gets the green light, it might just be the casting we never knew we needed.
He’s still waiting to see if he can work with “the right people” on this project, which adds an intriguing layer of suspense. What if the project ends up being bigger than blockbuster franchises? With his talent and charisma, could Franco transform into a character that’s both humorous and dramatic? It’s food for thought as we look forward to what his future holds. Wouldn’t it be a blast to see a Franco-Mangione film hit the big screens? Let’s just hope Luigi has a good sense of humor about all this!
