stone to star in soccer sequel
Hippy chick singer Joss Stone has landed a role alongside David Beckham in Goal! 2.
According to the Daily Mirror the 18-year-old will make her screen debut as a sexy temptress, who tries to poach the star of the film (Kuno Becker) from his long-term girlfriend, played by Anna Friel.
A pal of the Devon lass said: “Joss has dreamed of being a singer since she was a little girl, but she never thought her success would make her so hugely famous.
“She was surprised when the producers asked her to come in for a screen test - but she had a really good time doing it and gave it her best shot.
“She's really chuffed they've decided to go for her, even though she's not a trained actress.
The role is kind of different to the way most people see her, as she's going to have to play a bit of a bitch - that's what she's looking forward to the most!”
Goal! 2 is the second instalment of the soccer-movie trilogy, which started filming this week.
The hero, played by Mexican actor Kuno Becker, moves from Newcastle United to Real Madrid, where he meets Joss’s character.
England captain Becks, who has one line in the current movie, will have a much bigger part as Becker’s adviser in the Madrid team.
The source added: “Joss is the hottest girl around at the moment and everyone is really confident that she's going to be just as amazing on screen as she is when she's singing on stage.
“She'll probably have to wear killer heels though, so she'd better ditch the flip-flops and start practising her walk.”
