10 Actors Who Could Play David Bowie In A Biopic Movie

It's pretty common for people to joke about how striking a resemblance there is between Tilda Swinton and the late great David Bowie, so why not go all the way with it? Part of what made Bowie's energy and legacy so fascinating was his androgynous look that combatted the traditional masculine ideals of the time, so casting a female actor would undoubtedly do a lot to hint towards that.

Swinton's short hair, ginger colour and skinny face are all a perfect match to Bowie, and she'd certainly suit all of the iconic outfits of the man. Seeing her sport classic looks like his Life on Mars suit or Aladdin Sane thunderbolt album cover could break the internet.

Regarding her experience and acting abilities, she's easily the most decorated performer on this list. This Oscar-winning actor has been working on projects ranging from big Hollywood flicks to intimate indie dramas for decades now and has attained a reputation for being one of the most unique actors in the industry.

All of this combines to make her a sublime pick for the part of David Bowie.
