Paramount buy story of Robbie's life

Paramount Pictures have apparently optioned the movie rights to Robbie Williams' life.

Whilst in rehab in LA the singer found time to write a script chronicling his transition from boyband heart-throb to successful solo artist punctuated by a troubled period of rock 'n' roll lifestyle involving alcohol and drug addiction.

Robbie told IOL.com: "I started to write them as therapy while I was in Los Angeles, and a friend suggested I submit them. To my surprise they (Paramount) liked them and have optioned them, which is amazing.

"Would I like to act? No, not at all, but I like the idea of some of my work being up there on the big screen."
