It's Chico time!

The star of 'The X Factor' is about to make what may be the least eagerly anticipated film of all time.

Feb 16 2006

Chico Slimani, the former sheep herder who inexplicably captured the public's imagination as the bloke who couldn't sing on 'The X Factor', is set to appear in a film.

As well as starring in the flick, Simani will also co-produce and co-write the script, which will be based on his former career as a male stripper.

And if that wasn't enough to make you want to slit your wrists, Screen Daily reports that Sharon Osbourne is in talks to play a corrupt promoter.

'Lunchbox' (for that, dear God, is what the film will be called) is set to shoot in Spain, France and the UK in June.

Needless to say, Time Out won't be visiting the set, and from this day forth, The TOMB will pretend this project doesn't exist.

    I wonder have you actually met the georgeous Chico? No? Well I have and he was anything except his own backside. He was charming, friendly and one of the nicest celebs i have met. I think that perhaps the people that have a go at him are just silly jelous peasants who wish they had his looks, personality and YES talent. Posted on Oct 25 2006 17:24
