In just a couple of months, Willie Nelson turns 90, and he's doing a heck of a lot more than most 90-year-olds these days.
The man just won the Grammy for Best Country Album for crying out loud!
With that in mind, and the surge in popularity in biopics lately, it's time for one to be made about Shotgun Willie, and there's already one actor who's expressed interest in that role.
In an interview with NME, Bryan Cranston revealed that if there was one musician he would love to play in a movie, it would be Willie Nelson.
Cranston said, "The hair and the beard. I think there's some physical resemblance. He's very old and wrinkled, and I can relate to that [laughs]. So I wouldn't have to wear a lot of makeup.
"Willie's had a fascinating career – as a writer and as a performer, and as a free speech person, being anti-war and on the forefront of hemp [culture]. That's kind of interesting to me, even though I don't vibe with that stuff. I don't like smoking, it just doesn't do it for me."
Nelson recently won his 14th and 15th Grammy awards (for Best Country Solo Performance and Best Country Album), and Cranston is a six-time Emmy winner, and one-time Academy Award nominee.
