Christopher Walken To Play Ozzy

Creepy cult film star Christopher Walken has signed on to play Ozzy Osbourne in the forthcoming Motley Crue biopic.

According to Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil, Walken will play Ozzy in a cameo appearance in the movie version of their biography 'The Dirt: Confessions of the World's Most Notorious Rock Band'. In the book, Ozzy snorts up a line of ants, so hopefully we'll get to see the crazy-eyed deadpan star do the same.

Neil let a few casting choices slip during the launch of his new Las Vegas tattoo parlour, Vince Neil Ink. Of the Walken casting, he told US radio station ABC, "How funny is that going to be." He also mentioned that the film will have cameos from Val Kilmer (who played Jim Morrison in Oliver Stone's 'The Doors' biopic) and ex-Van Halen singer David Lee Roth (who has been playing a rock star for over three decades).

Walken has long been associated with quirky music choices, including his classic Blue Oyster Cult "More Cowbell" sketch on SNL, his dapper effort in Fatboy Slim's 'Weapon Of Choice' video and his job as guardian angel in Madonna's 'Bad Girl' video.
