Ramsay's life story to hit the big screen
Published Saturday, Apr 28 2007, 11:58 BST | By Daniel Kilkelly
Gordon Ramsay has revealed that movie chiefs are keen to put his life story on to the big screen.
The celebrity chef has been approached about the project following the success of his autobiography Humble Pie, which is about to be released in paperback.
"There is a possibility that Humble Pie will become, as they say, a major motion picture," Ramsay told The Sun. "I've been approached by some amazing guys who see it as a kind of Billy Elliot-style film, only with chef's whites instead of ballet shoes. The climax will be our young hero picking up his first Michelin star.
"It seems unimaginable that this book, which was sometimes painful to write, could ever be turned into something for the big screen. I didn't set out to do anything other than set the record straight but it seems that somewhere along the way people recognised aspects of themselves in my story."
