16 WWE Superstars And The Actors Who'd Play Them In Movies

9. Bray Wyatt - Joaquin Phoenix

It's all about those horrible, horrible beards. A few years ago, Phoenix very publicly 'went off the rails' in what turned out to be a very method, very confusing exercise in PR manipulation for his project 'I'm Still Here'. He publicly announced that he had quit acting and was pursuing a hip hop career, growing his hair shaggy and unkempt, keeping up the pretence throughout all public appearances, all for the sake of filming the resultant chaos. During this phase, not only did Phoenix demonstrate his ability to grow an awesome terrible beard, but he also showed off his chops at making meaningless, repetitive, nonsensical ramblings somehow compelling. This makes him the perfect choice to play Bray Wyatt, Eater of Worlds, a man constantly torn between delusion and reality.
