Newt Gingrich: Brad Pitt Should Play ME - In My Movie



TMZ reports that in a Tuesday appearance on the Rich Stevens Radio show, Gingrich was asked who he would like to see play the lead role in such a film. Newt went straight to the top, picking a Hollywood icon.

"Oh, in my fantasy life?," he asked Stevens. "Brad Pitt ... why not?"

Stevens advanced the thought: "Is it because you both look so much alike?"

Newt replied: "No, I don't look like him at all. He's thinner, he's better looking, he's younger. But you asked me if I had anybody who could play me in a movie. Why not go for Brad Pitt?"

him into Newt. Could Brad though play him without breaking down in hysterical laughter every five minutes especially having to imitate that voice?

Remember? The used car dealer who had a seizure when his son told him he'd given a "REFUND? REFUND? REFUND?" in the 1979 film "Breaking Away"?

See Dooley's picture and filmography at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0233209/.
