A feature film about the singer's life is currently in the early stages of development.

 

Boy George has named Sophie Turner as one of the possible candidates to play him in a biopic about his life, but added that the movie would likely upset people because “she’s a woman”.

 

Plans for a Boy George biopic were first announced late last month, with Sacha Gervasi writing and producing a feature film based on the Culture Club frontman’s life.

 

Speaking about the movie to Australian radio station Nova 96.9 this morning (June 17), George said that the Game of Thrones star was “one of the more interesting suggestions” for the lead role.

Uncanny similarity

Watched a 60 minutes interview and he is a witty funny guy.

Read his autobiography. One of the funniest books I ever read. Very entertaining.

Thanks for the above replies. I liked The Culture Club's radio hits. I'm not familiar with much of their stuff but I will watch that interview and read that book.

Ah, the ultimate PC stupidity. I've seen historical movies where real white men were played by black actors, and they say that Dr Who is going to be played by a woman after a regeneration, but this...………………………..

Barking days we live in.
