Jake Gyllenhaal To Play Broadway Joe Namath
There comes a time in every icon’s life where the rights to his name and likeness are licensed for the purposes of a major motion picture. For “Broadway” Joe Namath, that time is now.
Initially rumored nearly two years ago, a recent update to Jake Gyllenhaal’s IMDb filmography is finally confirming him as the actor chosen to portray the New York Jets’ legendary quarterback.
The film is expected to follow Namath’s life as one of the game’s first true stars while transcending the sport to become the most recognizable face of American football.
