James Corden To Star As Keith Moon in New Biopic

Actor, funnyman, and talk show host James Corden has been cast in the role of Keith Moon. Corden will play the notoriously wild drummer for The Who in a new biopic.

The long awaited film has begun shooting in Britain and will be released later this year. Moon’s former band members Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend have signed on as Executive Producers. Townshend told Madhouse News, “I don’t give a crap, as long as they send me a big check. That wanker Moon once sewed me head to the carpet.”

U Got The Look

Daltrey said that whoever plays Moon will have to have a certain look. “It’s going to be very, very dependent on the actor and the actor’s eyes. Because you’ve got to cast it completely from the eyes because Moon had extraordinary soulful eyes. Corden is perfect, even though he is a chubby little twit, he has the eyes. I can feel it, James was born to play Moon.”

Daltrey reflected on the drummer’s character: “Keith lived his entire life as a fantasy. He was the funniest man I’ve ever known, but he was also the saddest; I’ve seen Keith in some terrible times. I saw him at his height, but then I saw him at his lowest. Keith is someone I love deeply, but who was a deeply troubled character. Corden is like that as well, the chubby little fat man who cries in his bangers and mash.”

“I love The Who” giggled Corden. “I have to admit that rock n roll is not my bag. My mum never let me listen to Rock as a lad. She said it was the Devil’s music. I prefer Broadway and show tunes. Liza is my Queen. However, I do like The Who. My favorite song of theirs is American Woman. I love that song.”

Natural

Corden will be doing all his own drumming for the film. He has been practicing 12 hours a day on the skins with Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith. “I can’t believe I am saying this but that chubby little loser is a natural” said Smith. “He hits hard man. It’s like watching a reincarnation of Moon himself.”

Corden continued, “I also started binge drinking and tearing up hotel rooms. Just the other day I took a dump in the elevator at The Four Seasons Hotel. Then I wrote Helter Skelter on the wall with my feces and threw the TV out the window. I am having a ball.”
