10 Actors Who Could Play David Bowie In A Biopic Movie
5. Alfie Allen
David Bowie was an industry icon who was universally beloved, but that does not mean he was exempt from some darker shades in his lifetime. When casting an actor for the role, it would be essential to find someone who could bring the right amount of likeability and contrast it with something entirely more cerebral and dark, which is what makes Alfie Allen such a great choice.
To start, he has some visual similarities with Bowie regarding his skinny frame and distinct bone structure. While he could use a little bit of work to fit perfectly, that's something that both he and make-up would likely thrive at. Additionally, while he isn't a musician himself, his sister Lily Allen would be a great connection to understanding the industry.
Overall, Allen made a name for himself in the role of Theon Greyjoy in Game of Thrones, and this hauntingly complex role showed just how good he is at playing with characters that flicker between confident and troubled. Seeing him bring this attention to detail and emotional layering to the role of David Bowie would be sublime to witness.
