10 Actors And The Wrestlers They Could Portray
10. Gary Busey/Ric Flair
Ric Flair is perhaps the most flamboyant, over-the-top personality professional wrestling has ever seen — both on and off-screen. The 16-time world champ is a legend in the business and one of the most recognized entertainers in any genre.
In truth, in the age of the internet, any actor selected to play a figure as iconic as 'The Nature Boy' would be met with a great deal of scrutiny. However, there is one man who is up to the task — Gary Busey.
It only makes sense for one of the wildest men in Hollywood to tackle a personality as large as Ric Flairs. In truth, the former Point Break actor should be able to relate to a character like Flair, who is a bit of wild child that enjoys the nightlife. Though he's settled down a bit these days, the now-seventy-five-year-old actor liked to party hard and lived a lifestyle similar to that of Flairs.
Moreover, it's incredibly easy to imagine Gary Busey letting out a loud 'Wooooo!' in one of the 'Nature Boy's' signature robes.
Flair has some big shoes to fill, but Busey could potentially 'style and profile' his way to an Academy Award if he ever decided to tackle the role.
