Legendary '80s pop star and former Culture Club member Boy George has accused Harry Styles of being "too scared" to play him in an upcoming biopic.
The 60-year-old singer/songwriter claims Styles was in talks to portray him in a new movie but alleges the former One Direction singer "ran" and now Yungblud is in talks to take on the leading role.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "They are looking at a kid called Yungblud. He is a big English sensation. He is quite young and he has been auditioning. There was talk of Harry Styles, but I think he ran. He was too scared."

The biopic, titled Karma Chameleon after Culture Club's 1983 hit song, will document Boy George's - born George Alan O'Dowd - rise to fame.
