Jake Gyllenhaal is set to play beloved American football rogue Joe
Namath in a new biopic.
The Hall of Fame quarterback for the New
York Jets, whose high-living party lifestyle earned the
flamboyant stud the nickname Broadway Joe, has personally given Gyllenhall
the OK to play him in the untitled film.
Producer Andrew Lazar has been trying to get the movie rights to
Namath's life for years, according to trade paper Daily Variety.
