It’s likely to have been a thought in your head or a discussion around the table at the pub, “Who would play me in a biopic?” and every time you pick someone who looks nothing like you but you just overestimate how good-looking you are. Personally, I think Christian Bale could portray me very well, just with a bit of time in makeup for a sprinkling of acne, a bit of unable to grow a proper beard and a crap haircut, the jawline is there though. Of course, it doesn’t matter as my life is far from interesting enough for a biopic however, NVIDIA’s CEO Jensen Huang has got a much more interesting life than myself so who would he choose to portray himself?
Jackie Chan as Jensen Huang
Ryan Patel at HP recently interviewed Jensen Huang for The Moment from within the very garage where HP began. The interview discussed Huang’s past and his story alongside future growth of the company and AI but then the conversation turned towards some more personal and lighthearted questions including Huang’s NVIDIA tattoo and then the big question, “Who would play you in a movie version of your life?”. Just as fast as the question is asked, Jensen responds”Jackie Chan, He looks just like me” and of course, Jensen does all of his own stunts.
This is just a passing joke but considering the amount of biopics that have rolled out over the years including one for Steve Jobs, one for Jensen isn’t too farfetched, especially with the huge impact NVIDIA has had on computing. If it does come about it’s probably a safe bet to say that 69-year-old Jackie Chan likely won’t be playing the role of a young Jensen Huang even with the power of AI and de-aging technology.
