14 Actors We'd Cast to Play These Olympic Athletes in the Movie of Their Lives

Swimming superstar Ryan Lochte has the same dimples and charming grin as 90210 actor Matt Lanter.

With her blond hair, blue eyes, and bright smile, Genius actress Laura Linney could easily fill the shorts of volleyball player Kerri Lee Walsh.

Fourteen-year-old Bunk'd actress Skai Jackson might seem a little to young to play Simone Biles, but we think her energetic personality would be a great fit for a movie version of the gymnastics phenom.

American tennis player Steve Johnson's scruff and squint make him the spitting image of Theo James.

British diver Tom Daley has the same look of Laguna Beach heartthrob (and brief One Tree Hill star) Stephen Colletti.

Aly Raisman has been killing it as one of the Final Five for the USA's women's gymnastics team, and we think Shailene Woodley could bring the same strong vulnerability (yes, that's a thing) to playing Aly as she did while playing Hazel Grace in The Fault in Our Stars.

Paul Wesley regularly smolders on our screens in The Vampire Diaries, and his resemblance to supercute American diver David Boudia can't be ignored.

Simone Manuel made history as the first black woman to take home a medal in an individual swimming event (she nabbed gold, by the way), and Scream Queens scream queen Keke Palmer's undeniable spunk would make for an excellent portrayal of the now-iconic swim champ.

Saoirse Ronan nearly broke our hearts in Brooklyn, and we have a feeling she'd bring her A-game to a movie about gold medal swimming champion Katie Ledecky.

Hear us out — Jay Pharoah might be known for his comedic savvy on Saturday Night Live, but we think a serious sports flick about Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt could catapult his career into an amazing direction.

Andy Murray is a cute, scruffy Scottish tennis player. Andrew Garfield is a cute, scruffy British actor. Something about this just works.

If Empire's Jamila Velazquez can flip on a balance beam as well as she can belt out songs, she'd slay a movie about gymnast Laurie Hernandez.

Michael Phelps is the GOAT. It's hard to imagine anyone playing him, to be honest. If someone did, though, Joel David Moore has the height and the endearing goofiness that makes the fish-human hybrid such a hit (in addition to his massive stockpile of gold medals, obviously).

Has Leonardo DiCaprio taken his incognito shtick even further by pretending to be Olympic archer Brady Ellison? They look so much alike we'd believe it.
