Joe Burrow names actor who could play him in a movie
Published:
The week leading up to the Super Bowl is always one of the most interesting when it comes to media questions. Players are often asked unique, out-of-the-ordinary questions, stepping away from some of the traditional football conversations for at least a few minutes.
This week, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was asked what actor might play him in a movie. He provided a pretty accurate response.
Per Ben Baby of ESPN, Burrow suggested Macaulay Culkin might be a solid option to fit the bill.

Culkin, of course, is most famous for his role as Kevin McCallister in Home Alone and Home Alone 2, holiday movies from the 1990s. Culkin was a star child actor at the time.
Burrow has had a pretty interesting journey early in his football career. He started his college career at Ohio State, transferred to LSU and won a Heisman Trophy and led the Tigers to a national championship. Now, a year after suffering a season-ending injury, Burrow has the Bengals on the verge of winning a Super Bowl.
Who knows, if Cincinnati takes down the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, maybe that movie will be in production sooner than people think.
