Di Angelo keen to play Hollywood gangster

Strictly Come Dancing star Matt Di Angelo has revealed that he wants to play a gangster in a Hollywood film.

The actor, who is currently taking part in the show's nationwide tour, said he is keen to reprise the roles made famous by his idols Al Pacino and Robert De Niro.

He told Soaplife: "I'd love to be in something like a remake of Brian De Palma's Scarface playing Pacino's role as Cuban gangster Tony Montana."

He added: "Of course I dream of cracking Hollywood. Any actor dreams of doing that."

It has been reported that tension between Di Angelo and dancer Vincent Simone reached boiling point when the tour kicked off in Glasgow on Friday night.
