Eddie Murphy.
Jon Favreau or nobody.
Rosie O’Donnell
gets my vote too if only for the Attitude alone!
Restricting to currently living, I’d have to go with John Goodman. Or if they can get him to gain 200 lb for the role, Tom Hanks.
If he wasn’t dead, Marlon Brando could have been a contender for the role.
Rob Riggle with a prosthetic belly.
Kate McKinnon. She can play anybody.
I came to say Jeff Garlin, but it’s been said.
