Adam Lambert throws some serious shade at the idea of Theo James playing George Michael

Adam Lambert gave the old social media side eye to the idea of White Lotus star Theo James potentially playing George Michael in a biopic of the late out pop star.

James, it seems, is a favorite to play Michael in a biopic that is reportedly in development, though the singer’s family and George Micael Entertainment have denied any knowledge of the project.

“The script is in the final stages and producers are looking for their leading man,” an anonymous source recently told The Daily Mail. “Theo’s name is the one on everyone’s lips. He would be perfect for the part. This is George’s story, warts and all.”

During a recent appearance on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live, host Andy Cohen read questions submitted by fans for James. Twitter user @FicusAudrey2 asked whether he would be open to playing the “Faith” singer in the “inevitable” film, asserting that he would “literally be perfect for it.”

“Yeah, I’d love that,” James enthused. “He’s an icon. And he’s a bit Greek, and I’m a bit Greek.”
