Dream Casting The Rock's Ric Flair Movie

12. Ric Flair

Strictly speaking, you need THREE actors to play Ric Flair for it to work properly. That's what he gets for being active in wrestling for so long.

We need the Nature Boy in his youngest active days, we need him in his 40s and 50s heading up to his return to WWE and we need him in his late 60s for the big ending and the opening segments.

Dealing with the oldest iteration first, we might as well go with an older veteran who loves to shout - step forward Mr Al Pacino. He's the only actor who has that sort of energy.

For the youngest version, all you need is someone who exudes charisma who could pull off a bouffant blonde wig. It's all about the hair here. So let's say Ben Hardy, since he proved himself capable of pumping himself up for X-Men.

The middle ground is the most important. This is when we'd see Flair wrestling with his most difficult patches, feuding with Eric Bischoff and the NWO and then returning to WWE. That's a long period so it requires someone able to look a spectrum of ages but also command the right charisma and actually be a good actor. There can be only one: Matthew McConaughey.
