Britain’s Got Talent Star Tipped for Hollywood According to recent reports, Britain’s Got Talent star and internet phenomenon Susan Boyle is set for the bright lights of Hollywood as movie producers scramble to make a screen adaptation of her life.
Bookies
Paddy Power had been offering 5/1 that a movie blockbuster would be made about the singing sensation after she took the world by storm with her rendition of Les Miserables ‘I Dreamed A Dream’ and now the cheeky bookie has opened betting on what actress will get to play the Scottish spinster should a movie be made about her extraordinary journey.
Screen goddess Catherine Zeta Jones is the 3/1 favourite to play Susan. The Welsh actress is rumoured to be interested in making a movie about Susan’s meteoric rise. Second favourite in the betting at 4/1 is Scottish actress Kelly McDonald, followed by British actress Helena Bonham Carter at 6/1. Demi Moore who, along with her husband Ashton Kutcher, single handedly championed Boyle in the United States, is 10/1 to be cast.
Sharon McHugh, spokesperson for Paddy Power said: “Something magical happened when Susan took to that stage and we think a movie of her rags to riches story would be a huge box office hit. She really has come a long way from her humble surroundings to taking the world by storm!”
Susan Boyle remains Paddy Power’s hot tip at 4/7 to win Britain’s Got Talent but faces stiff competition from Jamie Pugh at 11/2, Shaheen Jafargholi at 6/1 and Hollie Steel at 7/1.
