Colin Farrell For Ozzy Osbourne?

Colin Farrell is reportedly set to play Ozzy Osbourne in a biopic about the rocker.

According to Perez Hilton the actor has signed onto the role, despite the rocker wanted an unknown actor from Birmingham to land the part.

A source told the website "At least Colin and Ozzy are on the same page when it comes to using four-letter words!

"Colin drinks, he smokes, he womanises. He's just a sleeve tattoo away from being a real rock star."

It's been a busy year or so for the actor as he stepped into The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus along with Johnny Depp and Jude Law after the death of Heath Ledger in a bid to get the movie completed.

This year he has starred in Ondine as well as showing off his singing skills alongside Jeff Bridges in Crazy Heart.

He will next be seen alongside Keira Knightley in London Boulevard and he is currently filming Horrible Bosses with Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman
