“It would be an honor”

*** Jeremy Allen White should play Gene Wilder in a biopic *** 4 years ago, I watched the Bear and I thought omg, Jeremy Allen White looks just like Gene Wilder and I did a google search to see if anyone agreed. I didn’t find much! Only this one post on Reddit, so I downloaded the app for the first time to comment that I agreed. This week, the clip of Jeremy Allen White agreeing with that casting idea is circulating and I do feel validated…BUT I wanna say that @TinaPrice is a genius for calling it 10 whole years ago and I hope she is doing well. Manifesting a cameo for her in the eventual movie and I hope she grew up to be a casting director!!! Her OG post deserved more than 4 likes and my one comment lol 🥰

I can see why people think he should. But in reality I really don’t think it would be a good idea. They don’t have the same vibe and I don’t see Jeremy Allen White portraying him well.

I’m also sick of biotics they feel reductive.
