Orlando Bloom wants to play Joe Strummer
Life has highs and lows and complexities to make for feature film and great soundtrack: Bloom.
Hollywood actor Orlando Bloom wants to play The Clash singer Joe Strummer in a biopic of the late frontman.
The 34-year-old is a huge fan of the singer,who died in 2002,and says he is one of the most iconic figures of the British punk movement,reported Contactmusic.
“The life has the highs and lows and complexities to make for a feature film and a great soundtrack. I’d need to brush up my vocal and guitar skills,” said Bloom.
The actor recently said how Strummer was one of his inspirations when he played egomaniacal punk band leader in ‘Sympathy for Delicious’.
“Actually,you know,I was a bit more of the Ian Brown,from The Stone Roses,school of thought and also the Gallagher brothers,Liam and Noel,from Oasis. I just thought that Northern-I mean,I didn’t do a Manchester accent,I did a broad Northern,because a lot of the great British bands,even the Beatles,they all came from the north of England,” he said.
