(TNND) — Actor Dave Franco addressed the comparisons between him and alleged CEO killer Luigi Mangione during an appearance at the Sundance Film Festival over the weekend.
During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Franco said he has "never received more texts in my life about anything."
"Anyone who has my phone number has reached out about it," he added in response to the idea that he portray Mangione in a film.
Mangione pleaded not guilty in December to the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, who was gunned down outside a New York City hotel as he walked to an investor conference.
Several days after the shooting, Mangione was arrested at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania. The gun found on him matched three shell casings found at the crime scene and his fingerprints matched those investigators found on a water bottle and snack bar wrapper.
There are currently no scripted movies in the works but several documentary projects about the murder are currently in production including one from Oscar-winner Alex Gibney, according to Deadline.
Franco's wife, actress Alison Brie, also joked about the resemblance but said she doesn't think he's gotten "any official offers."
