Punk icon Iggy Pop thinks Lindsay Lohan looks like him ... so much so that the 24-year-old actress is his #1 choice to play him in a biopic about his life.

Elijah Wood recently dropped out of the role due to the movie being temporarily shelved ... so the casting is now wide open. The Godfather of Punk recently dished to Australia's Triple J radio about how Lilo is his actress of choice. Pop says:

"She looks like me, and she's the only one with enough attitude too. They could tape her boobs up or something. She's been in jail at the right age and everything, so I though she could do it."

Iggy may be on to something here. Cate Blanchett played Bob Dylan back in 2007 in I'm Not There. As for hiding her lady lumps to play a man, Blanchett said at the time, "I just strapped those breasts down and went for it."

Playing Iggy Pop could be just the breakout role that Linds is looking for. Let the strapping begin!
