    Gingrich Wants Brad Pitt to Play Him

    Gingrich Wants Brad Pitt to Play Him

    If they ever make a movie out of Newt Gingrich's life (we'll leave you to speculate on how likely that is), the Republican presidential candidate wants Brad Pitt to play him, TMZ reports.

    And why not? Pitt's played some out-there roles, such as Death in Meet Joe Black and an old man in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Gingrich knows he doesn't bear much of a resemblance to People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive, 2000, but when he called into the Rich Stevens Radio Show Wednesday, he said he might as well dream big. According to Politico, he said, "Look if you’re gonna go for it … You gotta relax and just, you know, let your imagination soar."

    Words to live by. And Gingrich apparently does, judging by the fact that he's charging ahead with his presidential bid after losing Florida.

      I bet he does…but Jabba the Hut would look and act more realistic

      Hmm - Guess the Stay Puffed Marshmallow Man is already booked?
      • Hu Flung Poo 3 mths ago
        It's actually The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man but funny none the less.
      • Heather 3 mths ago
        Phew - Glad the only issue was with spelling! Despite the physical similarities and Stay Puft's gozer god complex, I was actually afraid the comparison would not hold well, since Stay Puft has a more discernible neck, stood by his friends in the animated series, and even as a parade balloon was less full of hot air... ; - )

      Ha! Ha! What a joke! Pillsbury Dough Boy is more like it! Of course sorry to insult the good people at Pillsbury....
    • Jude  •  3 mths ago
      Is this a joke?
    • *  •  3 mths ago
      I don't know who could play Newt. But Newt could play the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.
    • Mer.  •  Charlottesville, Virginia  •  3 mths ago
      Uh...is that how Newt sees himself? When in reality, he looks a bit more like Jabba the Hut?
      • Heather 3 mths ago
        Or Pizza the Hut, even... ; - D
    • Lucasred  •  3 mths ago
      Instead of Brad Pitt, how about the Michelin Tire Man plays Gingrich.
      • Rebecca 3 mths ago
        Michelin Tire Man isn't egocentric enough.
    • SOMEONE WHO CARES  •  3 mths ago
      FAT CHANCE !
    • JP  •  3 mths ago

    • 6 Degrees  •  3 mths ago
      This delusional man wants to be the next president. What a joke.
    • taran  •  3 mths ago
      Dream big not dream stupid, Newt, not even the greatest imagination can make you look like Pitt, now how about a real newt, you know small, slimy, slippery lizard like creature, so much in common with you, don't you think?
    • Allah  •  3 mths ago
      Rosie O'Donnell would be a better choice.
    • J. Doe  •  3 mths ago
      LOL. Not going to happen Newt.
    • JustTheFactsPlease  •  Spokane, Washington  •  3 mths ago
      Personally I think a movie about Newt would be a flop. Most have had enough of him....
    • zack  •  3 mths ago
      How about a pile of steaming dog crap.
    • 1984  •  3 mths ago
      Roseanne Barr would be the best choice.
