Dave Grohl picks actress to play him in Nirvana flick

Dave Grohl has revealed his actor of choice to play him in the upcoming Nirvana biopic. Actually, it’s an actress and she’s 60 years old.

Speaking with People magazine, the Foo Fighters frontman gave his thumbs up to Shelley Duvall, who’s most famous for her role as Jack Nicholson’s wife in The Shining (see video below). An odd choice, for sure, but Grohl said the resemblance is uncanny.

“I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m crossing my fingers that Shelley Duvall plays me,” he said. “Shelley Duvall in The Shining … That is MY face, you cannot get any closer than that.”

Describing himself as “probably the least manly dude that you have ever met in your life,” the former Nirvana drummer added that the easiest way to pull it off is to “put a beard on her.”

Grohl likely won’t get his wish granted and not because Duvall is a 60-year-old woman. The most recent news about the actress is that “she spends night after night patrolling her backyard, convinced her home is a portal for aliens.” Which means she may not be answering her agent’s calls.
