Valentino Rossi has given his opinion on who should play him in a MotoGP movie.
The major racing movie of recent times has of course been the F1 Movie which came out earlier in 2025.
In that, 61-year-old Brad Pitt plays a former F1 driver coming out of retirement to revive his dormant racing career.
Of course, if a MotoGP movie were to be made in which Rossi, who retired aged 42 at the end of the 2021 season, was a character, an accurate-to-reality script would not feature any such comebacks.
But, in any case, it is Pitt who Rossi has singled out as the man to play him in a film.
“Brad Pitt could do it,” Valentino Rossi joked, speaking to Radio Deejay’s Say Waaad show, as reported by Italian publication GPOne.
“He's been a Formula 1 driver although he is no longer very young.
“Brad would be fine for me, we look alike!”
The film remains something of a fantasy for now, but Rossi does have two other media in the works that will focus on his MotoGP career.
The first is a book, and after that a TV documentary is said to be planned.
“We're on it, we're working on it,” said Rossi.
“We are doing a book and when we finish it we will be ready for the series.
“It will be a documentary, a docuseries.”Rossi was back out on-track last weekend (29–30 November) for his annual 100km dei Campioni flat track race at his VR46 Motor Ranch, which was won by the pairing of Augusto Fernandez and Francesco Bagnaia.
