Britain's Got Talent Winner George Sampson to Star in Hollywood Film?

Britain's Got Talent winner George Sampson is set to turn his rags to riches story into a Hollywood film.

Movie producers have approached the teen breakdancer's agent about a Billy Elliot-style tale of a boy dancer beating the odds.

A source said, "They reckon George's story could be a perfect follow-up to Billy. There are a lot of similarities."

The 14-year-old from Warrington, Cheshire, North West England, won the ITV talent show despite a rare spine condition that once left him blind. He had to endure "poof" taunts from classmates over his love of dancing.

And he even busked on the streets of Manchester to pay for his £15-a-time dance lessons.

In the 2000 film, starring Jamie Bell, hero Billy had to beat the prejudice of his family who wanted him to take up boxing instead of ballet.

Meanwhile, Britain’s Got Talent chiefs are crediting George with helping to pull in a record 20,000 entries for next year’s show.

An insider told The Sun, "He's shown you don't need to be a singer to win."
