Shaquille is quite well known for his humorous personality and acting skills. Disney recently announced that they will be producing a live-action version of its hit animation film, Lilo & Stitch. As soon as the announcement was made, fans began to speculate about Shaq’s involvement in the movie. The original film had a character named Mr. Bubbles whom Shaq would perfectly resemble. However, Disney has not confirmed all the characters yet.
Is Shaquille O’Neal good enough to play Mr. Bubbles?
Shaquille O’Neal has all the right physical features to represent the character. He’s got the height and build. One of his most unique features is his voice. He would make a perfect Mr. Bubbles. However, there are a few things that may stop the Los Angeles Lakers legend from taking up this particular role.
O’Neal works under Turner Sports Media which is majorly owned by Warner Brothers. He has appeared in multiple films produced by the media organization as well. Disney happens to be Warner Brothers’ biggest rival as well. The NBA Hall of Famer would obviously choose to stay loyal to his company. Shaq has worked with Disney in the past.
In 1996, a movie called Kazam was released and Shaq took on the lead role. However, this was over a decade before O’Neal officially became a part of Warner Brothers. However, there is another person who could take up the role of Mr. Bubbles if Shaq does not get hired. Terry Crews, a Hollywood A-lister who has been around the industry for several years now. Crews has already been recruited by Disney for their upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy movie. Disney could potentially hire him for the role as well.
