Karma Chameleon

BOY GEORGE: THE ROLE OF A LIFETIME?

Unlike SOME people, Boy George is not complaining about a new biopic called Karma Chameleon being made about his life. He says “I want it to be honest and truthful – and hilarious!” The movie will document George O’Dowd’s rise from small town boy to flamboyant rockstar, and it WILL include his 4 month prison term in 2009 for falsely imprisoning a male escort. First the film was delayed by Covid, and now it’s being held up because they haven’t cast someone to play George. George jokes that Harry Styles was “too scared” to take the role, but Yungblud and Adam Lambert have not been ruled out. George is now 60 years old – can you believe it?

BOY GEORGE WANTS KEANU REEVES TO STAR IN HIS LIFE STORY

Believe it or not, filming is set to start this summer for Boy George’s musical biopic Karma Chameleon, and the leading role has not yet been cast! Boy George has been hoping that Keanu Reeves would be cast to play him, but that’s only wishful thinking. (He’s not giving up on having Keanu make a cameo appearance in the movie, however.) The movie will start with George’s Irish working class upbringing- and trace his evolution to stardom in the 80’s with Culture Club. It will also include that nasty episode where George was sentenced to 15 months in jail for “false imprisonment” – he handcuffed a Norwegian male escort to the wall of his London flat after meeting him on the dating site Gaydar. George turns 60 this year (!) and he’s already booked for a series of concerts this summer.
