Aussie heartthrob Russell Crowe will play Amir Khan in a forthcoming biopic of the Bolton youngster's life. The £80 million epic will recreate Bolton on a back lot in Leeds......

Although I can see the resemblance

Im still surprised that they write that Khan is the youngest since Patterson to win a medal, he wasnt even the youngest in the 04 olympics.

They don't even look like plus Amir looks puny to crowe in size.

How can a man of a different culture and a man more than twice his age play the life story of a boy!

More crazy talk. Its like bands that release a Best of album after they have a xmas number one hit and they have been around for 12 months!

It's either a wind up or just really REALLY wishful thinking. I work in the film industry and the only film I know of a the moment with Russell Crowe is Cinderella Man; the real Jim Braddock.

He played a Heavyweight in that though. He wouldn't be able to play a little lightweight/light welter like Khan.

Exactly.

Got to be a wind up. Just... has to be... BTW, this girl - Parminder Nagra - I see was 27 at the time of Bend it like Beckham. I thought she looked 12!! Well, under 20 at least...

It's a load of rubbish, must be a wind up.

I also noticed they had Amirs Nationality as British Asian when there is no such thing.
