Susan Boyle has been spilling more beans about the upcoming film based on her life and this little tidbit is both really surprising and somehow not surprising at all.

Apparently, Meryl Streep has been offered the role of Su-Bo herself. In an interview with Metro Susan revealed, 'I wouldn't like to be in the film myself. I'd like someone to play me. Probably Meryl Streep - I understand she has been approached.'

Oh really? That's quite the A-Lister to play a Britain's Got Talent contestant. Paul Potts only got James Corden!

However, Meryl Streep is the undisputed queen of character and lead acting in Hollywood so this chameleon is the obvious name to be throwing around. Could playing the singer be her fourth chance at Oscar glory? We would LOVE to see her try.

See Meryl in action as Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady here, and let us know what you think of her appearing in the Susan Boyle biopic.
