10 Wrestlers Who Deserve Biopics (And Who Should Play Them)
5. Ric Flair - Adrien Brody
When it comes to thinking of loud personalities, who seem perfectly fitting for the cinematic landscape, it's hard not to draw towards the "Stylin', profilin', limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin' n' dealin', son of a gun!". There are simply very few performers who match the level of charisma and grandiosity that The Nature Boy has established throughout his career.
However, the life of Ric Flair isn't all an extraordinary tale of sports success and joy, as a slew of personal demons and dramatic encounters have littered his life with plenty of milestones that would make his biopic filled to the brim with the same energy and intensity found in his promos.
A great choice to take the mantle of The Nature Boy would be that of Adrien Brody. Although he would need to dye his hair to match the look, he otherwise appears perfect for the part. While he is known for his more reserved performances, like The Pianist, he has shown a far more energetic side in flicks like Midnight in Paris and Hollywoodland, proving that he could easily hold a candle to the iconic sports entertainer.
