Elton John wants Justin Timberlake

by Anneke Hak

We know that if we had to choose someone to play us in a biopic, we'd want someone multi-talented, downright gorgeous, and all round lovely to take the role. And we're not even Elton John.

So, it came as no shock to hear that the Your Song singer wants Justin Timberlake to play him in his forthcoming biopic, which is set to be called Rocketman.

David Furnish will be joining playwright Lee Hall to create the movie, as he produces alongside Steve Hamilton with Elton John as executive producer.

Elton told the LA Times that Justin was his first choice to play him. When asked who he'd like to play him he said, "I don't know. I've got a wish list of people. Number one on my wish list is Justin Timberlake, because he played me in a David LaChapelle video of Rocket Man and was superb.

Who do you think would make a good Elton John? Is Justin Timberlake the right choice?
