Who Would Play Morrissey In A Film Of His Life?

[Waving Not Drowning]

I think James Van Der Beek, (Dawson from Dawson's Creek) would be perfect!

 

[Jones]

Be a bit of a boring film wouldn't it?

Morrissey has a pot of tea.

Morrissey watches Saturday Night, Sunday Morning for the 1259th time.

Morrissey feeds the cat.

does he have a cat?....i'm sure he has dogs or maybe he just walked them for a bit of extra cash, when he was without a record deal.

Harry Hill.

[Jones]

He had some at some point and as it's a film of his life I reckon his cat would have to be mentioned at some point

You think Harry Hill looks like Morrissey?

Morrissey = good looking, Harry Hill = not!

What about Matthew Perry, (Chandler from Friends)?

 

[The Cat's Mother]

> Harry Hill.

> Girl A

Or Beaker out of The Muppets.

 

[Waving Not Drowning]

I think James Van Der Beek would be perfect! He would need to darken his hair a little though.

 

[Jones]

It's all about music and work. He has no big narrative in his life to carry a film. It would be better just to release a live concert. That's really the interesting part of Morrissey's life.

You clearly have deprived yourself of the pleasure of Stars in Their Eyes...

This Is Morrissey's Life Story In Full.

 

[Girl A]

I think filmmakers would probably be too scared to make a Morrissey film. Can't imagine many would want to risk the fate of being whacked senselss by Morrissey fans if it turns out to be rubbish.

I guess some things are just too sacred to be meddled with.

The question was...

... who would play him, not: what would play the he that would play him. So I think James van der Beek is not a good choice... I mean: he's blonde... and besides that he hasn't got class. So I think for the early years the director would need to find an unknown actor (or Joaquin Phoenix if he loses about 40 pounds)and later on I would love to see George Clooney hugging a fake Nancy Sinatra...
besides all that: nobody is interested in his life, except for some weirdos around here (I'm one of them) and there have been more interesting lifes after all. I guess Morrissey would agree.
