PIERS Morgan has slammed the idea of Sophie Turner playing Boy George in a biopic about his life and asked “how will she have sex like him?”
Boy George named the Game of Thrones actress as one of the candidates to play him – but admitted it would likely upset people because “she’s a woman”.
Piers ranted after Boy George revealed Sophie is in the running for the role.
He said: “How is she going to have sex? Does wonder woman get played by a man? No.
“When someone is a famous man like Boy George how can it be a women playing? Create your own damn character.
“Don’t take our characters, don’t take our pop stars, leave us alone.
“It’s a very insidious thing that every male character, a woman wants to play, it’s creepy.”
Piers then made it clear that “when there is a biography about my life, I want to be played by a man.”
Speaking about the movie to Australian radio station Nova 96.9 yesterday, George said that the Game of Thrones star was “one of the more interesting suggestions” .
He added: “It’s really strange, but that’s been a suggestion [I think] that will upset people, which I quite like.
“(People will say): ‘Oh she can’t play you, she’s a woman!’
“But you know, when I was 17 I would have loved to have been her… that was the ambition!”
