Ozzy wants Depp to play him in a movie

The Black Sabbath rocker Ozzy Osbourne has just released his autobiography, ‘I Am Ozzy’, and says one of his few remaining ambitions is to see the tome turned into a film, with the ‘Public Enemies’ actor Johnny Depp in the lead role.

He said: “What’s left to wish for? A number one album would be good. And to have a movie made of the book, maybe with Johnny Depp playing me – I’d like that.

“But really, I’d like to go back in time and make better choices. Still, I know now that there is no such place as Utopia. Even if I do make it to heaven, you can bet your life the toilet will stink.”

As well as career plans, Ozzy is also thinking about returning to his native UK with wife Sharon.

He said: “I don’t want to spend the rest of my life in California. There’s so much bulls**t out here and the reality is, I’m English.”
