Guardian.co.uk – Ben Child
When the idea of a Susan Boyle biopic was first mooted a few months ago, Meryl Streep was the Guardian’s hot tip for the lead role. But today an even less likely frontrunner has emerged: Robin Williams.
The Daily Star quotes Williams, the Oscar-winning star of Good Will Hunting and Mrs Doubtfire, in which he portrayed a divorced dad who drags up to play a Scottish nanny and babysitter in order to spend more time with his children, expressing his keenness to take the role.
