Our Chaotic Picks for the Anthony Kiedis Biopic

Here’s our dream cast for a movie that almost certainly won’t pass the Bechdel test.

But the juiciest of those parts will probably be actress Ione Skye, whom Kiedis met through her Stranded co-star Flea in 1987 and proceeded to date for two years — an eternity to him at the time. Skye was just starting in her career at the time (and uh, only 16), so it makes sense to go with another up-and-coming actress, like Sophie Nélisse, currently playing a girl growing up too fast on Yellowjackets. A supporting role that would seem so extremely random if it weren’t true: Afrofuturist funk legend George Clinton produced the Chili Peppers’ 1985 album Freaky Styley, supplying the band with a ton of cocaine in the process.
