Elton John has revealed that he would like Robert Downey Jr to play him in a film about his life.

The singer, who is planning to start work on the biopic about his life soon, said that he thinks Robert would be the perfect fit.

"I'm quite old now so they'd have to be two or three actors and they'd have to vary in weight. Robert Downey Jr. could maybe play me at a certain stage," Elton John told The Sun.

He added: "Obviously, it's not going to be your normal, run of the mill film because my life has kind of been crazy."

Meanwhile, Lady Gaga's duet with Sir Elton John for Gnomeo & Juliet will not appear on the movie's soundtrack.
