Iggy Pop Refuses To Take Part In Biopic

  • 11 January 2006

[Iggy Pop](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/iggy-pop) is refusing to have anything to do with his biopic after learning LORD OF THE RINGS star [Elijah Wood](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/elijah-wood) is to play him in the project.

The punk icon has nothing against the actor, but he thinks it would be a terrible idea to get involved in his own movie life story.

He says, "The script ain't chopped liver... It was a work of art. But subjectively, I don't want to be involved in any way.

"A producer and the writer sent me a very decent letter, and asked me to write back if I didn't want them to do it... I don't feel negative about it at all."

Iggy Pop admits that, like many, he was "curious" about the casting of Wood.

He adds, "I don't really know about him... I saw him on TV the other day, and he seems like a very poised and talented actor."
