Elton John Wants Timberlake to Play Him in Biopic

The two last teamed up for a Broadway adaptation of the film Billy Elliot, and now John says an official announcement regarding this fantastical biopic should be expected very soon. While it’s not clear if that announcement will simply be officially revealing the project itself, John already has an idea of who should bring himself to life on the big screen.
