Paul Gascoigne: Dustin Hoffman wants to play me in a film

Footballer says the actor made the admission when they met

Monday, 11 May 2009

Paul Gascoigne claims Oscar-winning actor Dustin Hoffman wants to play him in a movie.

The pair bumped into one another while staying at the same hotel.

‘I went over and said: “Hi Dustin, you all right? You don’t know me but I know you,”’ Paul tells talkSPORT magazine. 

‘He said: “What’s your name?” and I said: “Paul Gascoigne. But everyone calls me Gazza.” He went: “You’re that mad f***er aren’t you?!”

‘I started laughing. He then asked me if I wanted to be in a movie. He wanted to play me in a movie! Nothing’s come of it. But it will take some actor to play me I suppose.’

Paul, 41, was sectioned under the Mental Health Act after an incident at a Tyneside hotel in February 2008.
