There have been biopics about loads of rock artists, particularly over the previous few years. However apart from Lords of Chaos, there have not been many about steel teams. In a brand new interview with Metallic Hammer, Corey Taylor named the 2 actors he’d need to painting him in a biopic if one had been to be achieved on Slipknot.
The primary actor Taylor talked about was Taron Egerton, who performed Elton John within the 2019 movie Rocketman. However, since he already performed a rock star earlier than, the Slipknot frontman supplied an alternate.
“[Egerton and I’ve] bought the identical construct – he’s bought the neck. He’s stockier than I, however I’ve had instances in my life the place I’ve been fairly fuckin’ match and I simply assume body-wise he’d be spot on,” Taylor reasoned. “If I needed to do it at my age now, I’d most likely say Tom Hardy. He’s scrappy and simply doesn’t give a fuck – he’s one in all my favorite actors. I may see him pulling off the eagerness I’ve bought once I simply wanna rip the masks off and scream in everybody’s face.”
Hardy is a 45-year-old English actor finest identified for his roles in The Revenant, the Venom movies and several other others. See a side-by-side picture of Hardy and Taylor under.

“There’s loads of dudes [in Slipknot] that should be represented equally – not one is larger than the opposite, and you may’t clarify the band with out explaining all of them,” Clown asserted to NME a number of months in the past.
“After which there’s our [former] supervisor [Steve Richards], who handed away – that story must be in there – after which there’s a motley crew of a few dozen different motherfuckers… It’s insane. So we’re gonna do it, however we’re gonna do it our manner.”
