Lance Chooses Jake

August 22, 2006

Congrats to Jake! Lance Armstrong has confirmed the rumors that Jake will play him in an upcoming movie. We really liked the idea of Matt Damon as Lance. Matthew McConaughey was also up for the part, but lost the role to Jake. Lance said that this is the reason the 3 have been spending so much time together this summer. Who knew it was an audition or competition between the two? Let's hope the three will still be BFF after today's news.

It's so good to see Jake in something other than spandex. Lots more pics of Jake and sister Maggie at their dad Stephen's poetry reading so read more

Lance's life is that interesting that they are going to make a movie about him ... Cancer survivor and 7x Tour De France winner ... Wooooooo WHOOO ! Maybe that's why Jake and Matt were spending so much time with him, to "Study" him!

Personally I won't see it either. I admire Lance for his courage and determination, but I don't care to see Jake pedel his ass all over the screen for two hours. I don't find him appealing at all. Nor does the public.

Only if she gives her consent to the music Griffin. I hope she doesn't. He had won like 6 tours before he met here and battled cancer and won, I don't think the story needs Sheryl.

Yeah um... I have no desire to catch this flick.

It should be all about mommy! Maybe you should do a poll who'll play her...

Well consider the fact the Sheryl is older than Lance and has a certain body type and look, not many to consider. That is if she is in the movie which she's been part of the story for a while so I would bet she would be. She also famous which means she'd be a draw to the audience. Plus they could license her music too. Take all that in consideration.

I love both Lance and Jakey, so obviously I love this!! And I agree, i dont think cheryl will be in this movie.. however, Lance's first wife Kristin probably will.. Lance's book was great so it will be interesting to see how the movie stands up
