Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen Reveals the One Actor He’d Want to Play Him in a Movie
Josh Allen has a marvelous idea for a future movie.
The Buffalo Bills quarterback revealed the one actor he would want to play him in his future biopic—and he definitely bears some resemblance to his pick.
“Chris Pratt,” Josh shared in the Sept. 17 episode of Boardroom Talks, though he quipped, “I feel like he’s too old now.”
But the 29-year-old—who won the NFL Honors MVP title for the 2024 season—isn’t ready for his career to be turned into a film just yet. After all, he has tried to adopt the mindset that he can still achieve new heights in his chosen sport.
“We’re always trained to focus on the next play,” Josh explained. “And that’s kind of how I live my life. I always feel like I focus on what’s to come and the best is yet to come.”
As for one area where he’s already got the best under his belt? His love life.
Indeed, Josh previously shared that tying the knot with Hailee Steinfeld back in May was the “most important decision” he’ll ever make.
As he put it during a June 10 NFL press conference, “I made the right one.”
“She makes everything easier,” Josh continued of Hailee. “So, I don’t really focus on the other stuff.”

Maybe he’d even want the Hawkeye star to play herself in a story about his life, seeing as Josh admitted that he cried watching his wife star in the 2025 horror movie Sinners.
“I was just so proud of her,” he said during the Sept. 2 episode of HBO’s Hard Knocks. “I get emotional thinking about it, but it was a pretty cool experience.”

Noting that he wants to support her “in whatever way I can,” Josh added, “That was her moment, and I’m so glad she got to shine.”
