Robert Pattinson might be switching from a mysterious vampire, into a hottie gangster.
“I was talking to [author] Tom [Folsom] about who he wants to play Joe Gallo if you make this book into a movie. He said one of the ones he really wants is Leonardo DiCaprio,” says producer Harvey Weinstein in an interview with Usmagazine.com during “The Mad Ones” book launch party held at the J.Crew Men’s Shop in NYC.
Joe Gallo was the mafia associate also known as “Crazy Joe” in the movie “Godfather Part III.” His character was then played by Joe Mantegna in the said movie.
So who else, aside from Leo, can play the role?
“Rob Pattinson, James Franco, Leo… there’s a bunch of guys,” Weinstein continues.
Weinstein has grown to become a fan of Pattinson after they worked together at the amfAR benefit, where the “Twilight” star auctioned off two kisses to raise funds for AIDS research.
“Rob Pattinson, I made him kiss girls in Cannes. He’s the most charming, wonderful young man,” Weinstein recalls with delight. “He really cared about the charity, and that’s not an easy thing to do. That’s a sweet, sweetheart thing to do. And then we got two bids.”
