WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair revealed Bradley Cooper is in the running to play The Nature Boy in an upcoming movie.
The Nature Boy has had one of the most exciting and illustrious wrestling careers. Before he wrestled in his final match in 2022, he captured 16 World Championships and became a two-time WWE Hall of Famer. He also became a notable figure outside the wrestling world.
On the latest episode of the To Be The Man podcast, Flair shared that a movie about his life is in the works. He revealed that those in charge have reached out to Bradley Cooper. The wrestling legend added that he could see the actor take on the role. Still, nothing is confirmed:
“Well, there’s talks right now that I can’t mention. They are making a movie about my life and I know that they’ve talked to Bradley Cooper. I could see him doing that. I could see him. That’s the only name that’s come up I don’t... That’s only rumored. I mean, I’ve heard it officially, but it’s not in place. So, ladies and gentlemen, it’s not true that he’s playing Ric Flair. I’ve heard they’ve talked to him, that’s it. Bradley Cooper is not playing me in a movie, yet. I hope he does.” [H/T Inside the Ropes]
