We know what you're thinking: Justin Timberlake as Elton John? How in the world would a 90s-pop-star-turned-actor be able to portray a legendary songwriter and musician such as Elton John? Well, ask Elton that. Because according to the Los Angeles Times, Elton has hand-picked Justin Timberlake to play him in an upcoming biopic.

“I've got a wish list of people,” Elton told the LA Times. “No. 1 on my wish list is Justin Timberlake, because he played me before in a David LaChapelle video of ‘Rocket Man’ and was superb.” As for the film itself, Elton says it's going to a be a little different than your typical biopic. “It's going to be a surreal look at my life, and not just a factual look at my life,” he said. “I just don’t want it to be a normal biopic because my life hasn’t been like that."

We're definitely looking forward to Elton's biopic -- but we're not sure of his personally picked selection. What do you have to say about it? Would Justin TImberlake make a good Elton John?

kinda skinny, but Philip Seymour-Hoffman could play him when he's older. But can he sing?

Timberlake SUCKS the big one. He can't sing or act and he's extremely unattractive. I guess all you have to do is be a Mousketeer to get famous.

Hell, even Elton John doesn't make a good Elton John. I can't stand him. Who will play Justin's husband? LOL I would hate to have either roll if there was a honeymoon scene in the movie.

I don't think he has the throat for the job. Just a suggestion but Barney Frank will be available soon and could certainly do the job in a 'life like' way if you know what I mean.

I think so. he can act and he has the chops to pull it off. He has the energy as well. If Elton wants him then that's my endorsement as well.

Elton John said: “I've got a wish list of people,” Elton told the LA Times. “No. 1 on my wish list is Justin Timberlake, because he played me before in a David LaChapelle video of ‘Rocket Man’ and was superb.”

Good enough for me.

That would be the worse person to play Elton John in a movie. There is no comparison.
