Britain's Got Talent winner Paul Potts has said that he wants Johnny Depp to play him in a forthcoming movie about his amazing rise to international fame.
The opera singer told Digital Spy that he has held meetings with Hollywood executives about making a movie based on his life.
Potts explained: "I met some guys from Paramount when I was in LA and they seem pretty serious about it.
"But things like this often go very quiet for a while and then explode.
"It's still on, but I will only truly believe it when it completely happens."
The former mobile phone salesman confirmed that he had discussed the project with a top screenwriter.
He said: "I have had a meeting with Justin Zackham, the guy who wrote the screenplay for The Bucket List, so it might be happening.
"I never assume anything until it actually happens and it is still in the fairly early stages at the moment."
Paul also revealed that he had discussed possible actors who he would like to portray him in the movie with his wife.
He said: "I think the cast is something that will be left down to the film company because they will have a better idea than I do."
He added: "But I would be very interested to know who they'd get to play me.
"I've always joked about it with my wife. She always says that she would like to play herself and that Johnny Depp should play me."
