Overview
Russell Brand has been hotly-tipped to play Adam Ant in a new movie about the singer's life.
Film bosses are said to be convinced the self-styled "sexual terrorist" would be ideal as the British pop icon.
The possible flick would be based on Ant's autobiography, Stand And Deliver.
It would document the star's troubled life, which includes a lengthy battle with manic depression.
"Russell would be perfect. There is an obvious physical comparison between the two," a source told the Daily Star.
"But there's more too, they both had a tough childhood and shared some similar issues in their lives."
It could work out well for Russell as he is thought to be eyeing up a movie career.
He is known for shows such as 1 Leicester Square and Big Brother's Big Mouth.document.write(unescape("
