John Daly's weight loss leaves him looking like Matt Damon?
By Kyle Koster/Chicago Sun Times
Colorful golfer John Daly has been watching what he eats and getting his cardio in lately. The once-chubby athlete -- yeah, athlete -- has lost 115 pounds and figures that a movie about his slimming-down could be in the works.
And he's already done some thinking about the casting, both for the svelte Daly and the not-so-svelte Daly. He shared his thoughts at a Monday press conference in Australia.
"I just saw Matt Damon, how he swung a golf club, and I thought if I ever made a movie, I want him to be me," Daly said. "The tough part is who would play me at 290 pounds. Now Kevin James, he's my bud, but he'd be good."
When asked what the main storyline might be, he said: "It would just be the life, it would be the whole thing. the guts of it all."
"The problem is who is going to play all the ex-wives?" added Daly, who has four ex-wives, to laughter.
The 43-year-old had lap-band surgery in February, a scene we hope the movie doesn't get too graphic with.
Its really good to see that John Daly has shed some lbs and looks to make a legitimate run on the tour. Tiger may be the best golfer in the world but Daly is certainly the most beloved. Of course his personal demons have always stood in the way. That being his love of the bottle and his penchant for bad marriages. His last wife just out of the clink for embezzling some cash. Maybe #5 will turn out to be his lucky wife. You know, Elin is probably available now. Just ask Jesper Parnevik to hook you up.
