I agree, this “movie” is only news because he spoke out on his own behalf which he rarely does.

I get the stunt casting. Pauly Shore would be pretty fitting. But just because there’s an uncanny resemblance doesn’t mean you should built a movie around it. Especially when the subject is very much alive and doesn’t seem particularly interested in the idea.

Beyond Richard Simmons, I don’t think bio-pics should be made about living subjects without their explicit consent at all. It’s ghoulish.
