Hollywood superstars Jack Black and Vince Vaughan are reportedly in the running to play Britain's Got Talent winner Paul Potts in a forthcoming movie.
The opera singer told the Daily Mirror that he was astonished to learn that a film was being made of his rags to riches story.
He said: "When my agent called and told me, I couldn't believe it.
"I never really thought it would happen and then a Hollywood script writer called Justin Zackham flew over and spent a day with us.
"We drove round Mumbles in South Wales where my wife Jules and I had our first date. We looked at where we got married, where we met, and Justin asked about our life."
Paul, who has just released his second album Passione, revealed that he would have given up singing if he had been rejected at his audition for Britain's Got Talent.
He explained: "I remember standing by the side of the stage watching a married couple performing. The husband was whistling birdsong and his wife was dancing with a scarf. They were booed fiercely.
"I thought, `What have I let myself in for?' I've never been someone who's comfortable taking risks. You have to be confident about the outcome, and confidence wasn't my strong point.
"It would have destroyed me if I'd had a negative reaction."
