Robin Williams To Play Susan Boyle?

New York Post:

ROBIN Williams might dig up his "Mrs. Doubtfire" drag and play Susan Boyle in a movie about the Scottish spinster who became a sensation on "Britain's Got Talent." "I've been asked if I want to play Susan in the movie," Williams told Britain's Telegraph. "I think she's incredible."

Mrs. Doubtfire was the only Robin William's film that I liked tho I love the guy as a stand-up comedian. I'm thinking a Williams' take on Susan Boyle might just be fun.

[br0nxl1ng]

He's joking of course, right?

[soundping]

I just puked in my mouth when I seen this.

Robin is funny but he better watch out for the caffiene and his heart condition... I think he needs to spend a week or 6 weeks with Dean Ornish or he willl burn and fade.....

Hey, Mrs. Doubtfire was a big hit.

Hollywood has come up with wackier ideas, like putting Dane Cook in movies!

[Balzac]

What an insult to the lady. Get a life Robin Williams!

[ClassyLady]

NO NO NO, please don't let this happen.

Susan has suffered enough ridicule, bad jokes and people making fun of her.
Don't let it continue with Robin Roberts; there are many many good actresses to play her role.

I would NEVER go to see the movie with Robin Roberts in the role; he is a good comedian.
However, Susan's life is more tragedy than comedy. It is certainly NOT a joke.

It's Robin WILLIAMS.

Thanks for the correction.
As I was typing the name, I felt it didn't sounds quite right, and it wasn't.
SENIOR moment; however my comment remains the same.

Naturally I'm rooting for this to happen . . . the physical similarities are striking.

great...make fun of her appearance ALL OVER AGAIN...so NO ONE will take her seriously (she'll forever be known as that unattractive/funny looking lady who can sing)...people will constantly focus more on her looks than her voice...i can assure you, it won't be a drama!

just downright cruel

[rzan1]

I never had problem with her looks. It's her voice I don't care for. It's just a matter of taste, I guess.

[lillibelle]

"Just downright cruel." You are right to point that out.

Where is the man's newly restored heart? Hope he listens to it.

[max08]

Cruel, if he does it.

[newTheory]

It hasn't been the same since he stopped saying "Na nu Na nu!"

[CorkiDeCat]

Mrs Doubtfire sequel? I smell desparation..

[Sing Out and Slap Iron]

I smell someone with their tongue firmly planted in their cheek!

[Bearangaria]

This is such a bad idea. This could and would go so
very wrong so easily.
For pity's sake Robin....Are you only about the $$$$?
You are so much more talented than that.

[Thru-hiker]

Oh Robin, just when I thought I couldn't hate you any more already do.....

[DarkWitch]

I love Robin Williams in drag. Seems like a lot of people here don't like him, in or out of drag. I must say though, I don't know too many other comedians who can ad lib like him these days.

[DeeDeeDaGumby]

for me it is not about him being in drag , it is about how they are making fun of Susan Boyle.. Just taint right..
