Jonah Hill has reportedly been cast to play John Daly, the 'bad boy of golf' in an upcoming biopic.
Jonah Hill has reportedly been cast to play the pro golfer John Daly in an upcoming biopic. Most know Hill for his comedic work, with his career being launched by successful comedies like Superbad and Knocked Up. However, he has ventured into dramatic films over the years, working with the likes of Martin Scorsese.
Daly is an accomplished and notorious player in the world of golf. He has won five PGA Tour tournaments, which are among his 18 career wins, which includes two Major Championship titles. However, Daly is an eccentric character who is also known as the "bad boy of golf," as the PGA Tour has served him five suspensions, six probations, and 21 citations, with some related to his alcoholism and gambling problems. Now, his story is set to be adapted to the screen with Hill.
Why John Daly Is A Great Role For Jonah Hill While Hill is predominantly known for his comedic work, with his most recent film being Adam McKay's satire Don't Look Up, he has more than proven himself as a dramatic actor. One of Hill's first substantial dramatic roles was in 2011's Moneyball opposite Brad Pitt, which earned him his first Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
With Hill reportedly set to play Daly, he'll be tackling another dramatic role. However, Daly's life and personality seem well-suited to what Hill can bring to the table, with roles in films like The Wolf of Wall Street proving Hill can handle characters dealing with substance abuse problems. Hill's own unique sensibilities also seem to fit the colorful character that Daly is known to be, with his bright outfits on the course and "bad boy" persona.
