Colin Farrell has been touted as the actor to play Black Sabbath front man Ozzy Osbourne in an upcoming biopic based on the life and times of the King of Darkness.
Osbourne has made it clear he doesn’t want “a Johnny Depp or someone from the Hobbit films” to play him. “I want someone who knows Birmingham.” That, and he insists, Americans have no clue when it comes to Brummie accents.
“Colin drinks, he smokes, he womanises. He’s just a sleeve tattoo away from being a real rock star,” a spokesperson told the Irish Times.
Sounds feasible.
