Usain Bolt tipped for action movie role

Olympic track winner Usain Bolt is being lined up for a role in a Hollywood action movie.

Movie producers are said to be approaching the Jamaican about a career on the big screen ahead of his planned appearance at the Rio Games in 2016.

Sources told The Express: "An approach has been made and it's hoped screen tests are going to be in place for the autumn.

"Arnold Schwarzenegger was an Austrian bodybuilder with poor English before he became a star.

"Usain has a far stronger starting point and is already recognised across the world."

Bolt was most recently spotted cheering on Manchester United at Old Trafford.
