Pirates Of The Caribbean star Johnny Depp was apparently lined up to play Ozzy Osbourne in a film about the former Black Sabbath frontman's life. However, following Ozzy's quad bike accident at his Buckinghamshire home in 2003, which resulted in the heavy metal legend being hospitalised for several weeks, filming plans were put on hold.
"Johnny Depp was going to play me at one point but then I had that bike accident and things got postponed," Ozzy told Metro. "He's a very nice cool man."
Ozzy added that he'd now like an up and coming actor from his hometown of Birmingham to play the part.
