Sir Elton John would like to see actor Robert Downey Jr play him in a planned biopic. The Rocket Man hitmaker is teaming up with British screenwriter Lee Hall for the project, which is still in its nascent stage, Contactmusic reported.
"A biopic of my life, I'm quite old now so they'd have to be two or three actors and they'd have to vary in weight. Robert Downey Jr could maybe play me at a certain stage," John said at the London premiere of 'Gnomeo And Juliet'.
