The Real Life Tarzan's YouTube Audition
Posted by AnaTiwathia on Monday, Feb 06, 2012
In 2009, an email began to spread around blogs and studio folks from one Dewet Du Toit, a “HIGHLY SELF MOTIVATED 22-YEAR OLD BODYBUILDER / ACTOR” that claimed he would be perfect for Stephen Sommers’ new parkour-filled Tarzan franchise, acting experience be damned. Behold the stunning 13-minute short he recently made to show off his actual jungle skills Watch as he fondles elephants, bravely drinks river water, stumbles bewildered through a gentle rapid, always showcasing his lily-white thighs with courage and grace. The finale, a hand-to-paw struggle against a jungle beast, may jump the shark, but Du Toit would probably wrestle a shark too, if that could help get him an actual screen-test.
There’s a shorter trailer too:
