Luigi Mangione has a striking resemblance to a certain celebrity.

Actor Dave Franco, who has recently been likened to the suspected assassin of a United Healthcare CEO, has addressed these comparisons.

“Has anyone asked you to portray Luigi?” an interviewer from the Hollywood Reporter inquired during a press event for Franco’s latest project.

“Anyone? Do you mean everyone?” responded Alison Brie, Franco’s wife and co-star in the new body horror romantic comedy “Together.”

“I’ve received more messages than I can count,” Franco joked, noting that while he hasn’t received any formal offers, friends have been buzzing about the resemblance. “Everyone who has my number has reached out about it.”

Franco, part of a well-known duo of brothers (the other being James Franco), has teamed up with Brie on several recent films, such as “The Rental” and “Somebody I Used to Know.” In the past, he has had notable roles as Eric Molson in “21 Jump Street” and Jack Wilder in the “Now You See Me” series.

Mangione is currently incarcerated in a Manhattan jail, facing trial for the murder of healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, which is believed to have been driven by political motives after he expressed frustration with the American healthcare system.

Following the release of details surrounding the murder, many individuals across the U.S., similarly dissatisfied with the insurance industry, have elevated Mangione to a folk hero status. They praised his writings discovered at the time of his arrest and even his appearance.

The nature of the crime, resembling a gripping true crime story with elements like a police chase, bags of Monopoly money, and a manifesto, only intensified this fascination.

In a popular video with 2.8 million views, comedian Matt Buechele remarked on an FBI wanted poster featuring Mangione: “‘Hey everyone, look for a subtly attractive assassin wandering the city.’ Like, how many attractive guys are in Manhattan? Am I just supposed to find him?”

“This phenomenon has been around for ages,” psychotherapist and author Stephanie Sarkis previously commented to YSL News about society’s tendency to glorify troubled male figures.

“It could stem from the person’s power,” she elaborated. “There may be an element of danger but also a belief that one can change the individual. Sometimes, it simply comes down to personal attraction without a clear reason.”

Unsurprisingly, with a biopic likely on the horizon, the internet has already spoken on who should portray Mangione.
