"Breaking Bad" star Bryan Cranston has some ideas about who should play Willie Nelson, if a biopic was ever made.
When asked if there was a musician Cranston would be interested in playing in a biopic, he responded with the legendary singer-songwriter Willie Nelson due to the fact they have similar features.
"Willie Nelson comes to mind. The hair and the beard. I think there’s some physical resemblance. He’s very old and wrinkled, and I can relate to that. So, I wouldn’t have to wear a lot of makeup," Cranston said during an interview with NME.
The 66-year-old actor continued to list reasons why he admires Nelson.

"Willie’s had a fascinating career – as a writer and as a performer, and as a free speech person, being anti-war and on the forefront of hemp [culture]. That’s kind of interesting to me, even though I don’t vibe with that stuff. I don’t like smoking, it just doesn’t do it for me," Cranston admitted to the media outlet.
Last week, Nelson spoke candidly about smoking marijuana with rapper Snoop Dogg in Amsterdam.
