Agyness Deyn wants to play Princess Diana in a movie.

While Naomi Watts is currently filming 'Caught In Flight' in which she plays the tragic royal - who died in a Paris car crash in 1997 - model-turned-actress Agyness revealed she would jump at the chance to take on the role of Diana.

She told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: "Princess Diana was a wonderful woman and I'd love to play her. I know Naomi Watts obviously has been given the role, but if it came up again, I don't think I could say no."

Meanwhile, Naomi has called Diana "remarkable" and said she is thrilled to be taking on the lead role in the Oliver Hirschbiegel directed film.

She said: "I'm excited and honoured to be playing the role of a truly remarkable woman, who had such a positive and profound impact in so many ways."

The film is described by its makers Ecosse Films as a "compelling portrait" in the two years until Diana's death in Paris in August 2007 and "charts how finding true personal happiness allowed her to achieve her defining successes, as she evolved into a major international campaigner and humanitarian".

Producers Robert Bernstein and Douglas Rae said: "We are very excited to be working with such a talented and creative team both in front of and behind the camera. Everyone's aim is to produce a truly insightful and compassionate study of Diana's later years."
