Perfect as Ronda Rousey


I am not sure how many of my fellow movie buffs are into Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), but to those who do follow, wouldn't Stiles be perfect for a role as Ronda Rousey? Both looks and height wise, they're very similar. Stiles just needs to buff up a bit for the role.

I was thinking the same thing.

Too old.

Julia Stiles is only 34...

Too old?

Rousey just turned 28 this year. Stiles is only 34. And lots of actors play characters who are way younger than them.

Julia is perfect as Ronda Rousey!

1 - Why would anyone make a movie about Ronda Rousey?

2 - If you were going to make a movie about Ronda Rousey why would you not just cast Ronda Rousey?

1. Ronda Rousey is currently the most famous MMA fighter. She just made the cover of Sports Illustrated and appeared as a guest in network TV shows. Rousey can also be seen in one of the blockbuster hits 'Furious 7'. No other MMA fighter, male or female, has gotten this much exposure.

2. Rousey is a fighter first; an actress second. Unless you're new to cinema world, rarely do people play themselves in a biographic movie. Rousey also needs tons of acting experience should she chooses to make an acting her long term career and strives become a leading actress.

Rousey is playing herself in an autobiography. Hehe.
