David Bowie Bio-pic and who should play him








With the two recent major music bio-pics showcasing the lives of 2 of the '80s biggest gay icons Elton John and the late Freddie Mercury. Played by Taron Egerton and Rami Malek respectively.

I think it is only fitting for movie studios to continue to bring to the light some of the biggest music star's personal lives.

One star who was friends with both Freddie and Elton was indeed the David Bowie.

Here are my three (yes, three) choices for actors to play Bowie if a bio-pic of his life ever does occur.

The movie would play out with the 1st playing a young version of Bowie, 2nd middle-aged and 3rd the final years of his life.

Fionn White as a young Bowie


Best known for starring in Black Mirror's Netflix playable story, Bandersnatch.

Benedict Cumberbatch as a middle-aged Bowie


Best known for playing the titular character of BBC's Sherlock. Also as the MCU's Doctor Strange.

Pierce Brosnan as the final years of Bowie


Best known for playing James Bond in the late '90s/Early 2000s. 

The movie should revolve more around his personal life than his career. 

For example, have one of the 3 listed actors go to walk on stage and it immediately cuts to after the performance or it focuses more on the people who were with him at time, having conversations, showing how David affected the people he is close to.
