Crowe to play Clinton?

Russell Crowe is reportedly lined up to portray former US President Bill Clinton in a new biopic.

The forthcoming film, entitled 'The Special Relationship', will focus on Clinton's dealings with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair - who will reportedly be played by Michael Sheen.

A source tells Britain's Daily Express: "Russell is currently our favourite to play Clinton. He might not initially appear the obvious choice but it's felt he could turn out to be ideal.

"It's understood his involvement could be confirmed early next year."
