Robin Williams Asked to Play Susan Boyle in a Movie

August 24, 2009

Robin Williams has been approached for a new movie role…playing a woman! And while he has done it before with Mrs. Doubtfire, we’re sure nothing could prepare him for this!

According to a new report in the Guardian, Williams has been asked to play singing sensation Susan Boyle in a movie about her life. Film executives are planning a film about her rise to stardom after appearing on Britain’s Got Talent.

It helps that Robin is already a big Susan Boyle fan, and has reportedly been practicing his impressions of her and singing “I Dreamed a Dream” to prepare for the role.

He says, "I've been asked if I want to play Susan in the movie. I think she's incredible. That clip of her singing 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."

We’re not sure how Susan Boyle will react to a man playing the part of her in her biopic, but we think Robin will be fantastic! He’s going to have to start working on those high octave notes!

He could do it without insulting her I am sure.

OMG! ROFL! This would be great if it were a comedy. I love to Robin play in this, but not as a serious role.

To be perfectly honest, he does look a bit like her. He's more wrinkly, though. And probably more hairy, though that can be fixed...
