Is British MMA Fighter Alex Reid Up For A Role In GI Joe: Retaliation?

Bleeding Cool reckon he might be, but the evidence is a bit flimsy. It's one of those "he was seen buying comics" kinda things. Click for the details..

Bleeding Cool are reporting that sometime MMA fighter/sometime ex of Jordan(Katie Price) might be researching a role in the new GI Joe movie, Retaliation..



Now, Alex Reid, the sometime companion of Katy Price and current showbeau of Big Brother fraudster Chantelle Houghton, has recently stopped by a London comic book shop and loaded up with lots and lots of GI Joe comic books. This is, of course, while casting is ongoing for the new film, GI Joe: Retaliation.


They are awaiting a reply from Reid's reps. Those outside of the UK may not have heard of Reid. As I mentioned he dabbled in MMA, briefly became a media darling after winning Celebrity Big Brother, had his own reality show following that. This sort of thing happens from time to time. Remember all the fuss over Eva Longoria buying those Avengers comics? Or Katie Sackhoff and her Daredevil shopping spree? No doubt these people were interested in roles, as Sackhoff recently confirmed, but it doesn't for one second mean they are actually being considered for one. That being said it wouldn't be too surprising if Reid was being considered for some kind of "token British Joe" role. I can't imagine they are being too fussy with their casting. They asked Channing Tatum back after all.

Like it could get any worse. The Rock, Ray Park, Dennis Quaid, and an appearance by Sgt. Slaughter are all this movie has going for it right now. Someone please tell me I'm wrong. What other positives have we seen in preperation for the filming of this movie?

@ Shaman

lol, yeah Tatum needs to be loaded onto the volcano plane.

the volcano plane is a plane where terrible celebrities get put on, and then subsequently flowin into a volcano. He would be joining the likes of Nick Cage, Lady Gaga, and Charlie Sheen.

CDB- Unfortunately, they have yet to be loaded on the plane. What's the hold up! These abominations are still making money!!!

Still, with passengers like those, Tatum would barely qualify to be carry-on luggage, if not a peanut sac.

Alex Reid is a joke. Why they would even allow anything to be linked to him is beyond me.
