Why haven't they made a movie about George Foreman yet?

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

Avon Barksdale?

He's a damn good actor and has the height (6'3" or so).....too skinny though. Even if he bulked up to his 'Remember the Titans' size as Julius, he'd still need more weight just to play Young George. Old George is a whole other problem.

Wood's brother, Steve, might have a shot playing older George but I don't know if he could do young George.

Yeah I was thinking he could bulk like Will did to get into role for Ali

Ain't no amount of bulking for old George tho

The only big time actor that sorta (a little bit) looks like George in the face is Donald Glover....and there's no way in hell that's going to happen.

Seeing Glover looking like Foreman in the early 90s would be a sight to see

 

[Human Torch]

Wood Harris is a wild casting choice

I can’t think of any current actors that could pull it off. Might be best to find a new up and comer

 

[Born2BKing]

Looking at this photo Michael B Jordan could pull it off. But him being Adonis Creed would make it a no go. Sleeper pick is Oshea Jackson Jr.

Glover would have a heart attack trying to eat all that food to get that big.

Dude would need a fat suit or some fancy CGI stuff

It doesn't matter, they can always bluff height

 

[invincible1914]

cause everything before the grill would be boring af

When We Were Kings is the movie he’s looking for. That was the most interesting time in Foreman’s life until he made the old school comeback and knocked out Michael Moorer. I like George Forman but he was too much of an introvert when he was younger to make a movie about. He was the perfect Goliath in somebody else’s David and Goliath story. Spent decades depressed and out of the limelight until he became boxing version of Uncle Drew (if Uncle Drew was a real person.) It would make an interesting 30 for 30, but not enough for a movie plus you will have that being overshadowed by a much more interesting character part.

At least that’s what I think


Edit: now that I thought about it ,the story of the unstoppable monster taking an embarrassing L bouncing back and reinventing himself into he lovable entrepreneur might make a good movie.

 

[The_Truth]

Didn't Foreman used to have a tv show?

 

[The_Truth]

I don't think he can.
I believe he sold his name and likeness for over $100 million.
George Foreman Sells His Name And Likeness for $137.5 Million


George Foreman is on his way to becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion of athlete endorsements.

In a deal announced Thursday, the effusive former boxing champion and his business partners agreed to sell his name and likeness forever to Salton Inc., a housewares company, for $137.5 million. The deal includes $113.75 million to be paid in five annual installments,

WTF? Sold his name?

 

[Luke Cage]

His most interesting moments are using put into Ali movies is why. Outside of that shyt, it would just be a grills and shyt.

 

[shopthatwrecks]
