The first reaction I heard was that Pete Davidson was too short for the role. He's 6-3. Joey Ramone was 6-6. 🙄Pete Davidson will produce and star in I SLEPT WITH JOEY RAMONE, a new biopic chronicling the life of the king of punk — whom we lost 20 years ago today.

The film, directed by Jason Orley from a treatment by Davidson and Orley, is based on Mickey Leigh's memoir of the same name. pic.twitter.com/4r49gZfsmo

Ooof...
Actually the bigger issue for me is that Davidson’s chin is way too strong as compared to Joey.
Pete Davidson's height is the last thing to worry about. 6'3" is very tall for Hollywood. My main concern would be Pete Davidson not being nearly talented or deep enough to do justice to a character like Joey Ramone.
and who will play Linda 🤔
Pete Davidson seems like a sensitive person who will try to do justice to Joey Ramone. He also looks more like a Ramone than 99% of people on earth, he's a NYC borough kid too, and really, no matter what the film turns out to be, Pete Davidson as Joey is already 10x superior to the dumpster-fire cast of 2013's CBGB.
Pete would be better suited playing like a bridge and tunnel member of the audience at CBs. But an actual fucking Ramone??........that's like Donald Trump playing Hilly Kristal.
Pete Davidsons feet are the wrong size to play the character
