A film based on Paul Gascoigne’s life is ‘in the works’ with a Game of Thrones star set to take on the role of the legendary footballer.
Gazza is currently preparing to enter Italian reality TV show, Isola de Famosi, which is similar to the UK’s I’m a Celeb.
The competition begins on March 15, and one of the 53-year-old’s first challenges involves being thrown out of a helicopter.
He’ll then meet up with his other campmates on a Honduran island, where he could remain until the show ends in mid-May.
Once he gets out, Gazza could make the hop from the small screen to the big screen, according to the man himself.
Before his appearance on Isola de Famosi, he told The Sun: “I’m talking about doing a film.
“One of the guys from Game Of Thrones wants to play me. It’s about my life.”
Gascoigne’s life certainly resembles something out a Hollywood film.
From humble beginnings, the cheeky Geordie chappy rose to become one of England’s most celebrated talents.
From tears in Turin to his battles with alcoholism, Gazza has experienced more ups and downs than most.
His love life has followed a similar pattern, with his marriage to Sheryl in 1996 ending in divorce three years later.

“I’m single, and that works for me at the moment.”, he added. “The thing is, if I keep myself to myself then my mistakes are all my own. Whatever happens, that’s on me.
“You’ve seen the times I’ve gone through.
“I don’t always think beforehand, I just go ahead and do stuff and deal with the consequences later, and I’ve given myself a load of challenges in my life.
“These days there’s no hiding — there are camera phones every- where, so all I can do is be myself.
“I’m not perfect, but if I keep things this way then I know that anything that goes wrong is on me.
“It will be my own fault, and I’ll have to deal with it.”
