Angelina Jolie is being lined up to star in the new
Muppets movie.
The 33-year-old actress — who is set to give birth to twins later this month — has reportedly been approached to feature in the film because she is such a huge fan of the Jim Henson creations.
A source said:
“The idea is to re-launch the Muppets with a big name and a big movie. Angelina is a big Muppets fan and being so passionate about kids there’s a very real chance that she’ll take this project on”.
“Even Brad might want to have
Miss Piggy as a love interest!” Angelina has previously revealed she thinks she looks like one of the comical puppets.
She said:
“I am odd-looking. I sometimes think I look like a funny Muppet!”
Jolie wouldn’t be the first celebrity to appear alongside the mischievous puppets. Rocker
Alice Cooper, the late
Johnny Cash and
Diana Ross were all guests on the series.
