Boy George has confirmed that a biopic is set to be made about his life and career.   

And on Monday, the Culture Club frontman dropped another bombshell when he revealed he may be portrayed by Game of Thrones star, Sophie Turner, 23, in the film.

Speaking to Nova's Fitzy and Wippa, the UK singer lauded the project and the blonde starlet's possible involvement.

'Yeah, it's going ahead. It's MGM. It's being written and directed by Sacha Gervasi. Who did [2018 film] My Dinner with Hervé. Who is very cool,' he explained. 

The film is being made on the back of the success of Rocketman and Bohemian Rhapsody, about Elton John and the late Freddie Mercury, respectively. 

George was then asked who would play him, to which the UK singer gave a surprising answer. 

'There's been some really interesting suggestions. One of the most interesting suggestions was Sophie Turner,' he explained.
