British singer Boy George launched a casting search on Tuesday (April 20), looking for an actor to portray him in a music biopic set to start filming this summer.

The Culture Club frontman, whose real name is George O’Dowd, took to social media to make the announcement. In a video he said Line Of Duty actor Daniel Mays would play his father, and added teasingly “there’s rumours of Keanu Reeves popping in”.
