Brad Pitt - Hollywood legend, husband of Angelina Jolie and ex of Jennifer Aniston... Know him?
Well, he's been tipped by Ladbrokes to play Nigel Farage in a new Channel 4 drama, based on a UKIP government.
In all fairness, Brad himself is right down the line (at 500/1) in those famous faces but topping the list is Michael Sheen (3/1) and John Hanna (5/1), with Martin Clunes not so far behind, with odds of 10/1.
Michael Sheen has already had great feedback from his previous interpretation on Tony Blair, so I guess it's only right that he's firm favorite for the Farage role.
Matthew Shiddick, from Ladbrokes, said:
"Sheen fits the bill perfectly, but if they want a hapless Prime Ministerial performance, Hugh Grant has some form at 33/1. We suspect Brad Pitt might have more suitable projects lined up, so needless to say he's the rank outsider."
With UKIP being a major debate talking point for many, this drama may well be a hit - if only for the discussions it could cause! I can almost hear the Gogglebox gang, now!
Would this be something you could see yourself tuning in to, even if Brad isn't the starring role?
