The Rotherham Bugle

In a move that will surprise many, it’s been announced that  Mel Gibson is set to play Jeremy Corbyn in a new biopic about the Labour leader. Although Gibson doesn’t seem like an obvious choice, Avi Cohen, Producer of the film, provisionally called “My Life!” says Gibson is a good fit for the role.

“Mel has sported a shitty grey beard in a number of films” he said “and who can forget his fight against the English as William Wallace in Braveheart?  Of course, with a biopic, you have to be careful. It’s important that you don’t choose someone who brings unintended baggage to the role. I’m confident that casting Gibson as Corbyn brings no unintended baggage. No unintended baggage at all.”

Although news about the rest of the cast is being kept tightly under wraps, rumours that Vanessa Feltz will be taking on the Diane Abbott role are gaining ground. “It’s a big part in many ways,” an insider told The Bugle “but we think she’s got what it takes to fill it. If not, we’ve got Whoopi Golberg on standby.”
