During an appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast on Wednesday, John Legend revealed some interesting casting ideas for a potential biopic of his life. When asked by host Alex Cooper who he would like to cast as himself and his wife, Chrissy Teigen, the singer responded that he would leave his own casting up to fate, suggesting that one of the “internet babies” who people claim look like him could play the role.
As for who should play Teigen, Legend had an idea. “Maybe Olivia Rodrigo or something,” he said. Cooper then suggested that actor Regé-Jean Page, who starred in Bridgerton and is set to feature in the upcoming Dungeons & Dragons movie, could play Legend.
Legend also floated the idea of him and Teigen playing themselves in the biopic, since the couple has acting experience. The two have appeared in various TV shows and movies over the years, including La La Land and The Mindy Project.
