Boy George has accused Harry Styles of being "too scared" to play him in a Culture Club biopic.
The 60-year-old singer /songwriter claims Harry was in talks to portray him in a new movie but alleges the former One Direction singer "ran" and 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."
Karma Chameleon - named after Culture Club's 1983 hit song - will document Boy George's rise to fame. It had been due to start filming this year but the Covid-19 pandemic and casting issues have delayed it.
