Brosnan dreams of Springsteen musical

Pierce Brosnan wants to star in a musical about Bruce Springsteen.

Brosnan - who takes on his first big screen singing role in the upcoming Abba musical Mamma Mia! - revealed his ambitions to stage a musical with the iconic rocker's songs to Bang Showbiz.

He said: "I'd love to see a musical of Springsteen songs. His songs have got such imagery and poetry. I would like to star in it - I'd have a crack at it. I really enjoyed doing Mamma Mia! so why not? In for a penny, in for a pound!"

Brosnan's Mamma Mia! co-star Colin Firth suggested Radiohead as the subject for a stage production.

He joked: "I don't think that's particularly upbeat - it wouldn't have people dancing in the aisles!"

Mamma Mia! is released in the UK next Thursday (June 10).
