Hulk HoganThe former close friend of isn’t shying away from Gawker’s upcoming film… instead, he wants to collaborate with them… and he has a lot of insight because he was at the center of the scandal!
A representative for Bubba the Love Sponge — a famous radio DJ whose wife wrestled between the sheets with the Hulkster in the now infamous sex tape — told TMZ … Bubba is not working with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon in their film, but he is willing to collaborate.
We’re told he feels the story has already been out there, so Bubba isn’t hiding from it… and he wants to make sure the duo gets the facts straight in their film.
One of the biggest facts…the rep says Bubba wants BA and MD to make it clear that the sex tape was stolen and that he did not leak it.
If you don’t know… Bubba was married to Heather Clem — the one who appears in the sex tape alongside Hogan. We broke the story years ago that Bubba and Heather had some arrangement in a place where Heather could have sex with other men, as long as she recorded it.
After the sex tape was released, Hogan sued Bubba and Heather. Ultimately, Bubba settled down with Hulk out of court for just $5,000 and an on-air apology.
Bubba may be cool with Matt and Ben as long as they get the facts straight, but we know Hulk won’t work with them… like we said, he will consider legal action if the two creators cross the line.
As for the cast… Bubba’s pitch Jonah Hill to play him in the movie — or Matty Matheson of “The Bear” fame if Matt and Ben want someone more low-key.
By the way… while Bubba isn’t involved in the biopic, he is working on a three-part documentary series about the scandal, set to release in the fall.
