Flea and His Desire to Play Popeye in a New Movie
Flea, like many of us, has dreams. Apparently, one of those dreams is to play Popeye in a movie.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist shared via Twitter, “If a good director decides to make a popeye movie, I’m your man.”

By his appearance alone, he definitely captures the visual essence of Popeye. Of course, whether or not he’d want to be compared to Robin Williams and his 1980 performance as the iconic sailor man is up to Flea, who already has a rather impressive acting resume.
