It hasn't taken the Stafford family too long to adjust to the change in scenery between Detroit and Hollywood. The Los Angeles Rams QB is certainly enjoying his first season in California, having made the Super Bowl for the first time in his career. During his media availability ahead of the clash with the Bengals, Stafford was asked some pretty unique questions, including which A-list actor he'd most want to play him in a movie about his life. He gave one of the best answers available, revealing Leonardo DiCaprio as his choice, via Dave Birkett.

The question was posed by a reporter from Access Hollywood, and while Stafford graciously awarded himself a DiCaprio comparison, fans on Twitter were less generous with their comparisons. Some fans suggested a Chris Pratt rendition, while others indicated Haley Joel Osmant would better fill the role.

That feels a bit more accurate, if we're being honest.
While this question was purely hypothetical, it's not out of the question that a movie could be written about Stafford should he and the Rams claim victory over the Bengals in Super Bowl 56. After all, his story of repeated failures with the Detroit Lions before getting a new opportunity in Los Angeles has captured the hearts of NFL fans, so why not bring it to the big screens.
If a Kevin James movie about Sean Payton coaching sixth-grade football can become a top Netflix hit, there's no reason a movie about Matthew Stafford with an A-list actor couldn't put up big numbers.
