Funnyman Robin Williams has admitted that he has been approached to play Susan Boyle in a new movie.

Boyle shot to fame earlier in the year as a competitor on the hit ITV show Britain's Got Talent. Ever since her appearance on the series a movie has been in the pipeline.

Speaking to the Daily Star Williams said: "I've been asked if I want to play Susan in the movie. I think she's incredible.

"That clip of her singing on Britain's Got Talent was extraordinary. So inspiring. It was quite a shock when she began to sing."

He continued: "I saw some other clip of her singing 'Cry Me A River' a few years ago. It was incredible. She's got a really great voice."

Boyle's performance was beamed around the world and she picked up celebrity fans such as Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher. But she was beaten in the final by dance group Diversity.

This comes just a couple of weeks after Williams revealed that he would be returning to voice characters on a second Happy Feet movie.
