Richard Simmons isn’t thrilled about Pauly Shore playing him in a newly announced biopic
news of an upcoming biopic on the life of fitness guru Richard Simmons began to circulate, along with casting details as to who will take on the film’s lead role, Pauly Shore, who’s already all set in the curls and endless energy department.
Speaking to People in September 2023, Shore detailed how a meme showing how he and Simmons look similar to one another jumpstarted the idea for the biopic, but went on to say that his attempts to get approval from the man who, at that time, had not been seen in public for ten years were shot down.
