Francis Ngannou Wants Idris Elba Play His Role
In a recent interview with The DAZN MMA Show, Ngannou talked about the possibility of a movie chronicling his life. He revealed that there had been a proposal for a movie and that if he were to do one now, he would miss out on a lot of exciting years in front of him.
“A movie from my life? There’s a lot more coming so if I do a movie now, I will miss a lot from my life. I still have a lot of exciting years in front of me. At least five years.” he said.
When asked who he would like to play him in the movie, Ngannou had one name in mind: Idris Elba.
“I’ve been asked that question already, and one person comes out of my mind, Idris Elba,” he said.
Ngannou’s rise to the top of the UFC has been nothing short of spectacular, and a movie chronicling his life would undoubtedly be a hit. However, with Ngannou still in his prime and with many exciting years ahead of him, it may be too early to tell the full story of his life.
In the meantime, Ngannou will focus on his new role with the PFL and continue to train for his next fight. Follow InsideSport on GOOGLE NEWS / For UFC News updates with InsideSport.IN
