Love him or hate him, PewDiePie, aka Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg, has made a name for himself as a YouTube personality over the past decade. With his controversial topics and alt-right associations, as Dani Di Placido from Forbes has pointed out, it’s only a matter of time before a movie or TV movie is made about his rise to fame. The question remains: who will play the part?
Here are five actors who could potentially take on the role of PewDiePie.
5. Travis Fimmel
Fans of the show Vikings might recognize Travis Fimmel as Ragnar. With his ability to captivate audiences and his striking resemblance to PewDiePie, Fimmel could easily take on the role. His portrayal of Ragnar showcased his talent for keeping viewers guessing, making him an ideal candidate for the part.
4. Jordan Smith
Another Vikings actor, Jordan Smith, played the character Ubbe. Smith’s ability to portray a character that can both irritate and charm audiences makes him a strong contender for the role of PewDiePie. While his acting style can be somewhat stiff at times, there’s no doubt that he could bring the YouTube personality to life on screen.
3. Alexander Ludwig
Alexander Ludwig, also from Vikings, might need to slim down a bit to play PewDiePie, but his facial features and build make him a suitable candidate. With a movie about PewDiePie likely to be more about rumors and gossip than facts, Ludwig’s ability to captivate audiences could make for an entertaining film.
2. Gustaf Skarsgard
Gustaf Skarsgard, known for his role as Floki in Vikings, has the right look to play PewDiePie, but it’s uncertain if he could fully separate himself from his previous character. However, as a professional actor, Skarsgard knows how to differentiate his roles and could potentially bring a fun and engaging portrayal of PewDiePie to the screen.
1. Jonathan Rhys Meyers
Jonathan Rhys Meyers bears a striking resemblance to PewDiePie, making him the top choice for the role. With his impressive acting skills and ability to fully immerse himself in a character, there’s no doubt that Meyers could take on the part of PewDiePie and deliver a knockout performance.
As PewDiePie himself has shown, anyone looking to take on the role will need to be prepared for a challenging and captivating performance.
