Hulk Hogan remains a popular figure in many circles, especially ones that deal with the WWE and professional wrestling. As he prepares for the "Hulk Hogan: Uncensored" Q&A later this month at the John Bassett Theatre in Toronto, the 60-year-old former champion continues to entertain questions about a biopic that could soon be made about his life.
According to US Weekly, Hulk Hogan would be in support of a movie about his life and career, but before developers can take the process any further, Hogan wants everyone to understand that he doesn't just want a regular actor to portray him. "I think we need a serious, serious actor that knows what he's doing," Hogan said recently. "You know who I thought would be good? That guy that did that action movie 'Thor.'"
In a recent sit-down with The Canadian Press, Hulk Hogan discussed how the idea of the biopic came about and whether or not he thought it would actually happen. When asked if there was a substantial amount of truth behind the idea that the film is already in the works, Hogan noted that a small rumor has begun to grow into a major story.
It's not really true. It's a TMZ headline. What happened was, I was going through LaGuardia Airport. This guy asked me a bunch of dumb questions for TMZ and he goes, 'Eh, when are they going to do a bio about your life?' And I said, 'It's already in development.' So now everybody's rambling like it's a feature film already.
But the truth is, two kids that are writers in L.A., hot young writers, they did a four-page treatment and I'm telling you they nailed it - they nailed it like they were living in my shoes - and I gave them the green light to go ahead and write the first pass. But that's all it is.
First off, they've got wrestling in their blood, they were huge Hulk Hogan fans, so they followed not only the smoke and mirrors that you see on TV, but they followed personally what I was going through: the divorce, the car accident, all the drama, the eight back surgeries, the hip replacements, the knee replacements.
Chris Hemsworth would certainly add an extra level of credibility to the rumored biopic since he's played a featured role in "Thor," "Snow White and the Huntsman," "The Avengers," and "The Cabin in the Woods." If this movie does finally become a reality, you can be sure that WWE fans and Hogan enthusiasts will come out in droves to catch the flick about one of the most entertaining figures in sports entertainment history.
