Bates could play SuBo, say family
Friday November 27 2009
Susan Boyle's family have revealed that he would like Kathy Bates to play her on the big screen.
With rumours flying that Simon Cowell is producing a movie version of her life, her elder brother Gerry said he would like the Oscar winner to portray the eccentric Scottish singer.
"I would not be surprised in the least if there was a film made of her life and I would personally like to see Kathy Bates play my sister - other British actresses like Brenda Blethyn would also be great and I just hope they get Brad Pitt to play me!" he told RadarOnline.com
The Britain's Got Talent sensation is set to top the charts with her record-breaking debut album, I Dreamed A Dream, one of the fastest selling albums of the decade.
Gerry dismissed stories that his sister is getting overwhelmed by all the newfound attention.
"I've seen a tremendous change in my sister over the last year and she really has a strong team of people surrounding her now," he said.
