The thought of a Mitt Romney probably hasn't crossed the minds of most people, but there is one person who's actively been thinking about it: Mitt Romney. During an appearance on Live! With Kelly and Michael, the GOP presidential candidate commented that if there ever were to be a big screen adaption of his life, he'd want Gene Hackman (who is 17 years his senior) to portray him. As hilarious as the prospect of a film about Romney's life is - how does everyone reckoen they'd handle all the allegations of bullying? Or what about the dog controversy? - we're gonna go with a big, resounding no on this one.

As for his wife Ann Romney, who appeared on the Live! interview as well, she'd like Michelle Pfieffer to play her.

Romney's love of Hackman wasn't the only thing that was divulged during that interview. He also stated that he's somewhat of a fan of Jersey Shore star Snooki, commenting, "Look how tiny she’s gotten. She’s lost weight. She’s energetic. Just her spark-plug personality is kind of fun."
