Who would play you in a Hollywood movie?
September 27, 2023 | Sparkle Wednesday
Have you ever thought about this? If your life was a movie, who would play you? You can choose an actor, someone from history, your mama, an animated character - basically anything goes!
I'm not sure about the storyline. Maybe my movie would be a love story “inspired" by true events. Lol.
If I were going to cast someone to play me, I’d probably go with either Meryl Streep (she's older than me, so maybe she could play a version of me looking back) or Kyra Sedgwick. Here’s why…
When I was a senior in high school, my family hosted an exchange student from Peru named Iván. If you're reading this, Iván, hello!
Iván used to tell me that I looked like Meryl Streep, which was a HUGE compliment because I was into acting, and well, she's MERYL STREEP.
Do you remember the doppelganger trend on social media a few years ago? (BTW - If you haven’t read this NY Times story on doppelgangers, it’s fascinating.) Some people told me I looked like Kyra Sedgwick. Generous compliment! Maybe I’d cast Kevin Bacon to play David since they've been married forever and enjoy making music together.
What about you? Who would play you in a Hollywood movie?
I remember I said that to you! And I meant it.
I think I would like... Sir Rowan Atkinson to play me —with sort of a Beanish touch.
I would pick Reese Witherspoon because I’ve had people say, “has anyone told you you look like Reese Witherspoon?” I’m gonna go with that. She’s much older than me. 😉
