10 Actors Who Could Play David Bowie In A Biopic Movie

7. Dane DeHaan

If there's one quality that Bowie captured, it was a sense of unconventional handsomeness. That's something that DeHaan has by the bucket load as his non-traditional look has wowed people for years now, and his vibrant yet dark acting skills would make for a compelling adaptation. He's found himself in the Hollywood spotlight a few times, and thus a role like this would not be unexpected.

DeHaan's time in Hollywood has been a little up and down, as he's always given impressive performances, but the movies he's starred in haven't always been successful. The likes of Amazing Spider-Man and Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets have helped to get his name out there but feel like stepping stones on his way to something big.

Casting him in this part would be the right choice, not only because he captures that unconventional look of Bowie but also because he has the experience required to pull off such a tough job. There's no doubt he'd look and feel right in the role, so casting directors would just have to pull the trigger on him.
