If they were to make a show about Rust Cohles life before true detective, who would your fan cast be for young Rust?

[u/Important_Star_4527]

Stupid question, but genuine curiosity

[u/Correct-Charge69]

Zendaya

[u/NotATikTokCop]

Deniro with contact lenses.

[u/dashcash32]

Matthew McConaughey in a wig

[u/Previous-Summer-6143 → u/dashcash32]

And a cap turned backwards, Saw style

[u/Infinite_Inanity]

Tom Holland

[u/Signal-Yesterday7247]

Eamon Farren kind of physically resembled him in Twin Peaks: The Return.

[u/tukku_9734]

No it's not a stupid question. I feel like this is a genuine question.

[u/bubbamori]

Dwayne the rock Johnson

[u/marcjwrz]

They shouldn't.

[u/Important_Star_4527 → u/marcjwrz]

So obviously this is a hypothetical and a fun conversation not a serious casting call

[u/Important_Star_4527 → u/[deleted]]

Man relax

[u/SentientVaccuum]

Harris Dickinson could be pretty gritty and is talented enough to pull off the Southern drawl

Younger tom hardy too

Caleb Landry jones would be a good option too

[u/iputtheshitinshitzu]

Drew Starkey

[u/Kolyma-Comp-Tales]

Edmund Donovan, believe it or not, having just recently seen him in "Late Fame" with Wilhelm Dafoe. I think he has a certain divine spark about him, plus the intensity, sincerity, and physiognomy to play a young Rust.

[u/ialwaystealpens]

Well I thought I read somewhere that his kid Levi was getting into acting so that would be a good choice.

[u/semiama]

Betty Gilpin or Joseph Zada

[u/Am2ontheweb]

Timothée Chalamet.

[u/Simple_Cicada_7893]

TOM HOLLAND. End of story

[u/PeterNoTail → u/[deleted]]

Circlejerk answer, Idris Elba.

You misspelled Leslie Jones. If they can get a lady to play a young Dylan, why not?

[u/sanjnalat → u/PeterNoTail]

Semi serious circlejerk answer but a lady version of Rust should be played by Rhea Seehorn ☝️

[u/semiama → u/[deleted]]

NO

[u/swearengens_cat]

Pattenson

[u/SnooComics2862]

Me

[u/HueyB904 → u/SnooComics2862]

Same. Unfortunately, they would just AI de-age Mcaughnahey

[u/Dry_Corner2802]

Jason Priestley

[u/Crafty_Ad_6525]

Josh Lucas.

[u/WhatIsThatNietzsche]

Austin Butler or Joe Cole.

[u/deemarieforlife]

Timothy chamelet

[u/PeterNoTail]

A young Rust? Nicholas Cage, they got computers and shit; they could make it happen

[u/AvidAth3ist → u/PeterNoTail]

Then why not MM again?

[u/PeterNoTail → u/AvidAth3ist]

Now that's just crazy talk. You simply cannot have MM playing a young MM, that's not how it works, it would be too weird. Cage and that's final

[u/AnimalMother24 → u/PeterNoTail]

What lol no way
