Slayer's Kerry King would like Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson or Vin Diesel to play him in a biopic.
The Thrash metal legend was asked which actor he would like to have portray him should a film be made about the 'Angel of Death' rockers, and he selected the 52-year-old wrestler-turned-actor and 57-year-old 'Fast and Furious' star.
Answering readers' questions in the new issue of Metal Hammer magazine, Kerry, 60, said: “The only one that loosely fits the description [to play me] is Vin Diesel.
"If you go down that road you might also say The Rock, but I’m not nearly that giant! That would be awesome, though – I’ll say The Rock, because I like a lot of the stuff he’s in.”
The metallers got back together after a break of nearly five years to play a handful of festival last month.
When announcing the reunion shows, frontman Tom Araya, 63, said in a statement: "Nothing compares to the 90 minutes when we’re on stage playing live, sharing that intense energy with our fans. And to be honest, we have missed that."
Guitarist Kerry added: “Have I missed playing live? Absolutely. Slayer means a lot to our fans; they mean a lot to us. It will be five years since we have seen them."
The band bowed out of live performances in November 2019 when their lengthy farewell run of shows came to an end.
Shortly after Slayer completed their farewell tour, the band's manager Rick Sales admitted he couldn't see them reuniting "at all".
Speaking in December 2019, he told the Los Angeles Times newspaper: "I’m not sensing [a reunion] at all ... let’s put the touring to bed.
"I’ve got a couple of ideas [for future projects], but we haven’t made any decisions.
"Right now, they’re preoccupied with the end, and I imagine it’s emotional. It’s emotional for me ... They’ve been doing this for so long. They just said, ‘OK, this is enough.’
"My analogy is Jerry Seinfeld, who had probably the biggest TV show when he went out on top. I respect the band for the decision. If you’re going to do it, this is the way."
Meanwhile, away from Slayer, Kerry released his debut solo album, 'From Hell I Rise', in May.
