Movies are a source of entertainment for us all, but biopics are something that inspires us to do better and achieve the unachievable in life. These movies act as a pushing force for fans and youth. Golfers too have movies to look up to, like Happy Gilmore, that are themed around golf. And as per talks later, perhaps another will follow, about none other than Phil Mickelson himself.

Recently, Lefty was spotted with the famed interview host Su-Ann Heng, who was caddying for him and chatting him up about his experience in Hollywood. But in the course of all this, there was an interesting talk about a potential movie about the lefty’s life journey, and he revealed his choice of actor to represent him.

Phil Mickelson, the LIV star, was recently spotted on the course at a show called Heng Time hosted by Su-Ann Heng. A video from this interaction was posted on her Instagram handle as a teaser. In it, both the golf Hall of Fame player and the host were seen sporting sunglasses.

Dressed in a white HyFlayers GC tee shirt and a matching cap, the 52-year-old team captain walked down from the fairway to the green, where he was asked an interesting question about who could make his Hollywood dreams come true.

Heng asked him if he would ever have a movie made about him, and what would be his pick of actors to represent him? He didn’t hesitate to answer the question, almost like he had already given it some thought before. He said, “Hugh Grant. He’s handsome, isn’t he?”

The choice to pick the rom-com hero is justified given his good looks and resemblance to Phil Mickelson. The golfer and the actor have the same complexion as well as a similar face cut, which just makes him all the more fitted for the role. The only thing left for Grant is to practice some lefty golf.

Additionally, it’s safe to say that if a biopic does come to be, it’ll feature a lot of Lefty’s recent activity, especially his move to LIV—that came for one main reason!
