Richard Simmons<\/strong> likes Pauly Shore<\/strong> a lot, but he’s not biting on the idea of Pauly — or anyone else for that matter — playing him in a biopic, despite a clamoring from folks on social media for a life story.<\/p>\n Sources close to Richard tell TMZ … he’s aware of the effort behind a biopic, mostly spear-headed by Pauly., but Richard just doesn’t want to be involved.<\/p>\n Our sources say it’s nothing against Pauly — Richard’s known the actor and his late mom Mitzi<\/strong>, for decades — he simply wants to live a private life out of the spotlight.<\/p>\n We’re told Richard & Co. get offers and pitches almost weekly and he turns all of them down. He’s just not interested in going public, much less getting behind some big production about his life.<\/p>\n Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.<\/p>\n As for the Pauly pitch, our sources say someone from Pauly’s team did connect with Richard’s … but Richard’s rep politely turned a thumbs down.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It was last summer when TMZ released “TMZ Investigates: What Really Happened to Richard Simmons”<\/strong> on FOX and Hulu. The response was huge, with the internet sending a ton of love Richard’s way. He even posted a rare message<\/strong> thanking everyone for their support.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Richard took to Facebook to write, “Thank you, everyone, for your kindness and love! \u2764\ufe0f Love, Richard.” We haven’t heard from the fitness guru since … but there’s still so much love for the guy who changed the lives of so many people.<\/p>\n
