Former WWE star Ric Flair slept with 10,000 women and had five wives, will Dwayne Johnson pull it off in biopic?
Richard Morgan Fliehr, better known as Ric Flair, is a 16-time world champion WWE wrestler who once led an extremely controversial life. The kind that would make for an interesting biopic. Hollywood A-lister Dwayne Johnson's production house, Seven Bucks Productions, is working on it, Ric shared the news.
It would be interesting to see the 'Fast and Furious' star get into Ric's shoes and play a flamboyant and out-of-sorts character on screen. Even though Dwayne has played roles, in which he has been portrayed as a carefree, untroubled protagonist, those are few and far between.
"I talked to Dwayne and Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia and they're gonna collaborate, the last time I heard, for all this stuff and make a movie with the WWE about me with Sue Levison, who now is with WWE and is doing a fabulous job," Ric had revealed during a Busted Open podcast, ET Canada reported.
Ric's life has been colorful and made headlines more often than he would have liked. He has never been the kind to be afraid to tell it like it is. Ric is brutally honest about his controversial personal life and doesn't shy away from being open about it. But, there are a few things he regrets sharing with the world.
In one of the segments of ESPN's '30 for 30' docu-series, Ric said that he had slept with 10,000 women. He doesn't like the sound of it now. "What I said was the truth, but I feel bad now that I said some of it. Ten thousand women. I wish I hadn't said that because of my grandkids," Ric told People after the episode aired and added that he has changed now and hasn't "done anything" ever since now-wife Wendy Barlow arrived in his life. He has been married and divorced four times.
Before Ric and Wendy got married roughly two years ago, he had 43 years of experience in marriage behind him. Leslie Goodman was married to him for 12 years, then came Elizabeth Harrell, who shared a 23-year-long marriage with him. Tiffany VanDemark and Jacqueline Beems were around for three and five years, respectively.
Let's hope Dwayne's production is able to consider all of the controversial aspects of Ric's life and combine it into an entertaining film.
