Justin Bieber as Jake?

I don't know if this will anger more people, but I keep going back and forth envisioning Eddie being played by Walton Goggins or........... Eminem. Any thoughts on those 2 for Eddie?

100% agree.

This infuriates me. Just being silly. I haven't seen Eminem act. If he's actually talented in that way, he sounds like a damn good choice to me.

Eminem couldn't act his way out of a paper bag if he tried. Let that idea go by the wayside. Besides, he's now too old to play Jake.

I take yer word for Eminem being in a bag, perhaps belonging there, but my feeling about all the tet is that each of them is kind of visually ageless. I can personally imagine Eddie as a young man late teens, as well as a man in his late twenties, early thirties. I mean we're talking about a guy who by the time we meet him has had his own share of a hard life, so he could be 18 and look 30 and still look like Eddie to me.

I am only a quarter of the way through Wizard and Glass, but for some reason the whole time when I picture Eddie I see him closer to his 30's than just 23. I guess it's just Eminem's persona and past problems with drugs (and maybe me being biased because I liked him when I was younger), but he just matches up with Eddie in my head. I was 13 at the time, so of course I thought his one movie (8 mile) was good.

Eminem is approaching 40 now, I think, so yeah I do agree that is a little too old for Eddie.

Anyways I saw this topic about Justin Beiber as Jake, so I figured this would be the perfect place to share this thought of mine.

He did that 8 Mile movie.
