Sometimes you have to know how to sow seeds behind you so that one day they bear fruit. It is these little seeds that Aaron Paul sowed during his meeting with a British magazine. After playing roles that gave him weight, it is with the famous group Nirvana that Aaron Paul would like to see himself evolve.
The magic of biopics
Biopics have been numerous on the big screen in recent years. They move, reveal intimate moments and pay tribute to many artists, whether they have left us or are still in the light. Freddie Mercury is the flagship example with the success of the film Bohemian Rhapsody. This was followed by the biopic on Elton John: Rocketman. This time, the film was presented in the form of a real musical.
The third film dedicated to an artist (here several) who marked the world of cinema was for the American rap group NWA with Straight Outta Compton. In total, these three films shook the box office by bringing in nearly $ 1.3 billion. Which new biopic will dethrone them? In a parallel world where cinemas would still have their doors open this month, you could have found De Gaulle with Lambert Wilson. But the best may be yet to come with two biopics currently in the works on two music icons: Amy Winehouse and Elvis Presley. We hope to see our impatience fulfilled by an acting at the level of that of Rami Malek and Taron Egerton who have set the bar very high.
A questionable wish?
Of course, there are still many artists who have not had their film. But you have to know how to make the pleasure last and leave your moment of glory to everyone! Recently, while Aaron Paul was interviewed by a British music magazine, NME, he made a confession that reasoned in the minds of all fans. Indeed, if a film were to be made about the inevitable Kurt Cobain, cinema already has its first candidate!
"When I first moved to Los Angeles, I thought a lot about Kurt Cobain and what happened… And I love Nirvana. Smells Like Teen Spirit was one of the first records I bought with my own money. So I thought it might be interesting to play Cobain. »
With a lot of objectivity on the career of Aaron Paul, nothing allows us to say that he would not ensure on such a role. He had the opportunity to play a character that has become emblematic today. The fearless and energetic Jesse Pinkman in the series Breaking Bad ! An intense happiness invaded fans when they discovered his return in El Camino, the spin-off of the series released recently. But that's not all. Aaron Paul was also a regular cast member of BoJack Horseman where he played Todd Chavez for 6 seasons. To complete this beautiful picture, he joined this year the cast of season 3 of Westworld in the role of Caleb Nichols.
Ready for Kurt Cobain? Although there is no doubt about his ability to perform such a role, age could be an issue. Aaron Paul turns 41 this year. Kurt Cobain died at the age of 27 in Seattle on April 5, 1994. Would the film be realistic? Although Aaron Paul is not marked by time, Cobain fans could be insensitive to his role if he lacks credibility. Let's wait to hear the opinion of the directors!
Anyway, we leave you with his latest film, a dark and endearing drama called The Parts You Lose.
It is true that despite his age the actor could still fully assume this role. For the time being, no producer has yet come forward. Would it be too late for Aaron Paul? Perhaps he should have manifested himself earlier, when he moved to Los Angeles in 1997 for example…
