COLIN FARRELL - COLIN FARRELL AUDITIONS FOR OZZY

Irish star COLIN FARRELL's screen test for the role of OZZY OSBOURNE in a new bio-pic was so successful, he was offered the role on the spot.

The PHONE BOOTH hunk, 26, recently tried out as the former BLACK SABBATH frontman - and even donned heavy make-up and an out-of-this-world wig for the audition.

Reformed alcohol and drug abuser Ozzy, an executive producer on the movie, was so impressed by the handsome young man's performance that he wanted to enlist him immediately, according to British magazine NOW.

The film will follow Ozzy's life from being a tearaway teen in Birmingham, England, to a global rock sensation.
