Sideways star Paul Giamatti was stunned when he was asked to play a cameo role in Japan's remake of the hit wine movie.

The quirky film was such a hit in the Far East that Japanese film bosses decided to revamp it with local actors, actresses and settings.

And they asked Giamatti to be a part of the production.

I felt my career hasn't hit that low yetPaul Giamatti

The actor says, "They asked me to be in it, actually... I don't know what I was going to play.

"I said no. I felt my career hasn't hit that low yet. I thought, 'What am I gonna play - the sushi chef or something?'"

Giamatti is far from impressed with the actor who will play his character, Miles, in the Japanese version of Sideways: "They got a strange, little troll to play me."
