Robin Williams to play Susan Boyle in Hollywood biopic?

Internet rumours are rife that Oscar winning Hollywood funny man Robin Williams is in the firing line to play Britain's Got Talent star Susan Boyle, in a blockbuster movie about her phenomenal rise to fame.

Irish bookmakers Paddy Power are offering 8/1 that the Mrs Doubtfire actor will be hitting the big screen as SuBo, after he told the Daily Telegraph that he had been approached to play the role.

And punters are clearly in agreement that Williams could pull it off. Over £1000 has already been wagered on him landing the role.

Sharon McHugh, spokesperson for Paddy Power said; "As crazy as it might sound we think Robin Williams would do a fantastic job playing Susan Boyle.

"He already has experience with the Scottish accent and wearing women’s clothes from his stint as Mrs.Doubtfire and we can really picture him as SuBo!"

Other actors in the running to play SuBo include Bette Midler at 5/1, Helena Bonham Carter at 14/1 and super fan Demi Moore at 20/1!
