“They’ve met up a few times to discuss it,” the source claimed. “She thinks he’s got what it takes to play both her and her former self, Bruce — and now Rob’s throwing his weight behind the project as well.”
Although Rob may seem like an unlikely candidate, he previously showed range in the HBO film Behind the Candelabra, in which he played the plastic surgery-obsessed Dr. Jack Startz. The actor totally transformed his face for the role.
