Paul Walter Hauser Says He Would Like to Play Chris Farley in a Biopic, However His Window for Making the Mission Is Closing — GeekTyrant

Actor Paul Walter Hauser has taken Hollywood by storm, selecting tasks to spotlight his unimaginable performing expertise like I, Tonya, BlacKkKlansman, Richard Jewell, Da 5 Bloods, Cobra Kai, and his Golden Globe-winning efficiency within the intense restricted drama collection Black Hen. He’s getting his fair proportion of affords as he strikes ahead within the business, and he has some concepts of who he wish to play, however they don’t come with out problems.

In a 2021 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Hauser defined that he would like to play comic and actor Chris Farley in a biopic about his life, and he has a terrific concept for the story, however he believes the window for making that film is closing.

“I needed to do a Chris Farley film the place he’s in rehab for half of the movie, and for the opposite half of the film, he’s doing his SNL stuff and his films. I believe I’ve a very nice tackle that story, however I’m attempting to drop some weight and I’m attempting to redefine myself as an individual of wholesome choice-making, and as an actor. So the times of doing Fatty Arbuckle, Chris Farley or Ignatius J. Reilly in a Confederacy of Dunces film have a really small time window, and it’s getting smaller by the week.”

This was nearly two years in the past, and I believe as a result of Hauser has been in so many films and collection since this interview, he hasn’t been capable of change his look, contractually. So it appears as if the window remains to be open. Nevertheless, Farley handed away when he was 33, and Hauser will flip 37 this yr. He does have a youthful look, however there are in all probability only some extra years he would be capable to pull it off.

I’d like to see this occur. I believe Paul Walter Hauser is a tremendous actor, and he’s going to go on to do unimaginable tasks. He’s presently engaged on the Doug Liman-directed movie The Instigators, by which he’ll star alongside Hong Chau, Matt Damon, and Casey Affleck.
