Marco Pierre White, the outspoken chef and host of the TV show Hell’s Kitchen, from 2004 to 2009, has revealed that Russell Crowe will write, direct and star in a new film about Pierre White’s life.
Pierre White explained that, as his acquaintance with Crowe grew, “I thought to myself, ‘Actually, I think Russell Crowe should be playing me, not Michael Fassbender’.”
Russell has written the script, Russell’s company is producing it, Russell is directing it and Russell is playing the third or fourth Marco.
In 2015, Bradley Cooper starred as a volatile London-based chef said to be partly inspired by Pierre White in the flop drama Burnt.
