Britain's Got Talent - The Movie


Who better to play a small tubby superstar than another small tubby superstar? But while the name of the first might elude anyone who wasn't a devotee of the TV show Britain's Got Talent, the same can't be said of the actor chosen to portray him in a new British movie.

Cue the ubiquitous James Corden, one time History Boy and lately of Gavin & Stacey not to mention the award-winning London and Broadway stage production One Man, Two Guvnors, who portrays Paul Potts in the recently-wrapped, One Chance.


Paul who? He was the shy, bullied shop assistant by day and an amateur opera singer by night who became an instant YouTube phenomenon after being picked by Simon Cowell for Britain's Got Talent.  Wowing audiences worldwide with his phenomenal voice, Paul went on to win the first series in 2007  and the hearts of millions.


Directed by Hollywood's David Frankel (Devil Wears Prada, Hope Springs, Marley & Me), One Chance, which shot in Italy and the UK, co-stars Julie Walters, Mackenzie Crook, Jemima Rooper, Colm Meaney and Alexandra Roach.
