They both have long dark hair and play the guitar – but that’s about where the similarities end.
Yet heart-throb Johnny Depp has emerged as the favourite to play Ozzy Osbourne in a movie about the rock legend.
The former Black Sabbath lead singer, 61, last year named the Alice In Wonderland star as the actor he wants to portray his colourful life story: “What’s left to wish for?” he asked. “A number one album would be good. And to have a movie made with Johnny Depp playing me.”
But now it seems the wheels are actually in motion for Johnny, 46, to step into the rocker’s boots.
Ozzy’s wife Sharon, 57, revealed they are planning an announcement soon and has her sights set on An Education star Carey Mulligan, 24, to play her younger self.
“Ozzy loves Johnny’s films and would ideally have him play the lead role in the Ozzy movie,” reveals a source close to the Osbournes."
I was having a look online at news articles and saw this. I thought it was an amusing diversion from the General Election. I've had a scout around, and it's being reported on many sites. But how accurate is it? Don't believe all you read in the papers, anyway.
So, for a bit of fun only, if Johnny Depp is to play Ozzy in a new film, who would you like to see playing Sharon? I'm going to have a think about that!
