Two peas in a pod?
Admit it, you've probably wondered at least once who would play you in a movie. And, who knows? It could happen. Maybe you're the next Erin Brockovich, waiting to be discovered.
Newt Gingrich is no different than the rest of us, as far as Hollywood dreams go. Yesterday, he told a syndicated radio host Rick Stevens he wants Brad Pitt to play him in a movie.
That Brad Pitt. Angelina's hunk, Brad Pitt. Formerly Jennifer Aniston's hunk, Brad Pitt. Personally, I don't see the resemblance, and Gingrich doesn't either.
"I don't look like him at all," Gingrich said. "He's thinner, he's better looking, he's younger." He added, "if you’re gonna go it, you gotta relax and just let your imagination soar."
I'm no casting expert, but he might have a better shot going more in the Dwight Schrute direction.
Meanwhile, Republican rival Mitt Romney has a serious typecasting problem on his hands. With a recent slew of gaffes, he risks being seen as the "rich Republican white guy" with voters — a narrative he's trying to avoid.

Harrison Ford or Jon Voigt
Seriously........Brad Pitt.........Really dude...............REALLY! There's delusions of grandeur and then there's .................................DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR!!!
desperation does it !
Give me a break....Newt...you were never that handsome.....wow what an ego.....and who would want to do a movie on you or see it???
Oh, well the movie will be made. Too juicy a life. Movie makers will want to give the people "what they want" & they will want it. I want to let everyone know that there is a connection between the Romney family, the Mormon church and (are you prepare for this, well I was surprised) Howard Hughes. (not sure of spelling). Google it!! It may be a warning. The Mitt should not be trusted. Family's modus operandae is not very assuring of good will toward people.
I disagree, Newt is handsome..if it were not so, he could not get he third woman, in his life, and attractive too !
So what do you want Chris Christie...?
Honestly this must be such an insult to Brad Pitt. Definately an indication of Newt's delusional ego. We were howling.
I don't think they could make Brad look that ugly. The need Ron Howards brother, He did a bang up job as the hill billy in Water Boy.
Oh, YA!!! like Brad Pitt would EVER play "Newt the Nut" in a movie OR anyone would even MAKE a movie about that sack of potatos with a tie.
Ok guys what else you want Newt to do, after 2012..?
Sell Viagra like Dole, or Reverse mortgage like Fred Thomson...?
Cialis cannot be too late even now to talk Newt into do something on the screen ..thats not less popular a job !
Paul Giamatti should play Newt, although he played a good Ben Bernanke
I vote for the Donald, hes about the only one whom would do it,he would just have to quit dying his hair!
Joe Pesci would be perfect- a combination of sane, crazy and vicious.
not sure Don i sdoing 'dat'. But...if R Reagn could,l et Donald too..!
Well,now that you cannot be a 'consultant' for the Fannie Mae, or say Freddie Mac, for millions...where else one should knock another door..?
Not a bad idea....for Newt. When Romoney loses in 2012, Newt wanto fire back with his new 'popularity' in 2016 !
