Fans have been rallying for Pauly Shore to play Richard Simmons in a biopic, and the actor has finally spoken.

And he's totally on board.

Shore took to Instagram to respond to fans calling for him to play the iconic at-home fitness guru, vowing he has been "trying to make it happen."

He wrote:

"I’ve noticed all the reactions to me playing #RichardSimmons in a new biopic."
"So I reached out to him. I heard he’s living deep in Big Bear. We’ve been playing phone tag (yes, he still has a phone)."

Shore continued, urging fans to be hopeful and to "hit up" the big dogs.

"I’m trying to make it happen for you guys. Be optimistic."
"In the meantime, hit up @hulu @amazonstudios @disneyplus @hbo and all the big producers. I definitely can morph into this guy. I’ll see you at the @theacademy 2025."

You can see his post below.

Simmons made his way into homes and hearts in the 1980s as host of The Richard Simmons Show about health and fitness, and most notably with his Sweatin' to the Oldies workout series.

Shore even showed off his Simmons impression with a viral video back in April.

People online believe Shore would the perfect person to portray him.

Needless to say, they were ecstatic to learn their favorite Son in Law is all in.

With the exception of speaking out about TMZ's documentary Whatever Happened to Richard Simmons, the legend has been laying relatively low since 2014.

Fans were concerned for Simmons' wellbeing after viewing the documentary, but his publicist assured the New York Post:

“Richard is eternally grateful for the continuous outpouring of love and gratitude he has received from across the globe."
“He is happy, healthy and living the life he has chosen to live.”

And Simmons himself wrote:

“Thank you, everyone, for your kindness and love!”

Shore has been outspoken about wanting to get back on the big screen.

In March, he told Page Six:

“I do truly miss acting and I miss being on set…Hopefully it happens…It’s about just dreaming and hoping.”

Stay optimistic, Pauly! This is truly perfect casting.

Lara Trump's Gripe About Dems Trying To 'Thwart' Trump's Transition Is Hypocrisy At Its Finest

Lara Trump—the daughter-in-law of President-elect Donald Trump and former Republican National Committee (RNC) co-chair—was criticized for hypocrisy after she baselessly accused Democrats of "lying" about wanting a "smooth and peaceful transition" in a rant on Fox News.

Earlier in the day, Vice President Kamala Harris presided over the certification of President-elect Donald Trump's election win, smiling widely when the vote total reached the threshold declaring Trump the next president and when she received a standing ovation from her party as her vote total was announced.

Will Smith Sparks Rumors He'll Be Starring In A 'Matrix' Sequel After Sharing Cryptic Video

We're all human here, and sometimes, we can't help but imagine what might have been.

A long-standing bit of gossip from Hollywood is that I, Robot's Will Smith turned down the opportunity to star in The Matrix, believing that the film Wild, Wild West was a better fit for his film presence, not to mention his inaccurate prediction that his film would be more successful than the franchise that would cast Keanu Reeves as Neo.

GOP Senator's Husband Ripped For Refusing To Shake Harris's Hand At Swearing-In Ceremony

Nebraska Republican Senator Deb Fischer's husband Bruce went viral after refusing to shake the hand of Vice President Kamala Harris—or even look at her—during his wife's swearing-in ceremony on Monday.

The exchange proceeded routinely, with Harris leading Senator Fischer in the oath of office. Fischer recited the oath, and the two shook hands as Harris thanked her for her contributions. However, when Harris turned to greet Bruce Fischer, saying, "May I extend congratulations to you?" and extending her hand, he declined to shake it, only saying, "Thank you," before averting his gaze.
