Robin Williams To Play Susan Boyle In Her Biopic
By Roberta | August 24, 2009
Hilarious comedian Robin Williams has been asked to play “Britain’s Got Talent” singing sensation Susan Boyle in a movie about her life.
Susan shot to fame as she sang “I Dreamed A Dream” on the British talent competition earlier this year, and now movie execs have taken notice. Instead of getting an older woman to play the role of the iconic singer, they want Robin to do it ala Mrs. Doubtfire. Sweet!
Robin is already gearing up for the gender bending role by singing her first song to his friends.
He said, “I’ve been asked if I want to play Susan in the movie. I think she’s incredible. That clip of her sing on Britain’s Got Talent was extraordinary. So inspiring. It was quite a shock when she began to sing. I saw some other clip of her singing Cry Me A River a few years ago. It was incredible. She’s got a really great voice.”
Mrs. Doubtfire definitely approves:
