Singer/Musician Elton John wants Justin Timberlake to play him on the silver screen!

John, 64, told the Los Angeles Times that Timberlake, 30, is his “number one” pick to star in a biopic about his life.

“He played me before in a David LaChapelle video of ‘Rocket Man’ and it was superb,” John continued. “It’s going to be a surreal look at my life, and not just a factual look at my life, more in the manner of a Moulin Rouge,” he told the Los Angeles Times. “I just don’t want it to be a normal biopic because my life hasn’t been like that. And it only goes up to when I go into rehab in 1990. It starts with me going into rehab and ends when I come out.”

John added that he’d be “making an announcement about [the film] very, very soon” and already has a director on board. “It’s just going to be a matter of getting the script exactly the way we want it… then we’ll start trying to cast and plan.”
