WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair is one of the greatest stars of the company. He is a pro wrestling icon with massive accolades. He had previously revealed on his podcast that he’s in talks for a biopic film about his life and is considering Bradley Cooper to play him.
On an episode of the To Be The Man podcast, Flair shared that a movie about his life is in the works. He revealed that those in charge have reached out to Bradley Cooper. The wrestling legend added that he could see the actor take on the role. Still, nothing is confirmed:
“Well, there’s talks right now that I can’t mention. They are making a movie about my life and I know that they’ve talked to Bradley Cooper. I could see him doing that. I could see him. That’s the only name that’s come up I don’t… That’s only rumored. I mean, I’ve heard it officially, but it’s not in place. So, ladies and gentlemen, it’s not true that he’s playing Ric Flair. I’ve heard they’ve talked to him, that’s it. Bradley Cooper is not playing me in a movie, yet. I hope he does.”
Ric Flair seemingly changes his mind
However, Flair recently took to social media to inform Bradley Cooper that he is no longer in the running to play The Nature Boy in his biopic. The reason given was that he saw Cooper wearing a Philadelphia Eagles jersey ahead of the Super Bowl game.
“#BradleyCooper, I Just Saw You Wearing An @Eagles Jersey. I Considered You Playing Me In My Upcoming Biopic But Not Anymore! Forget It!”
