The last few years, biopics have taken over at the box office. Bohemian Rhapsody was so successful, that other musicians were quick to follow suit. Rocketman, The Dirt and Judy, all succeeded after Queen's biopic took over the world. Now, Rod Stewart is chiming in, saying he wouldn't mind a movie about his life. He has even decided who he would want to play him. Welsh actor Rhys Ifans, most recently known for The Amazing Spiderman, is Stewart's actor of choice. But, there was a caveat, Stewart said Ifans would have to do something with his "barnet", meaning his hair. This photo of Rhys, surrounded by beautiful women, gives a pretty good idea of how well the actor might step into Stewart's shoes.

Stewart also said his 14-year old son, Alistair, would be a perfect fit if the biopic included bits about young Rod's life. Check out the side by side photo and more details from Fox News.
