MOTLEY CRUE - LEE: DEPP SHOULD PLAY ME IN CRUE FILM

MOTLEY CRUE drummer TOMMY LEE is keen to enlist Hollywood superstar JOHNNY DEPP to play him in a new movie about the group.

Veteran hellraiser Lee is convinced Depp shares an uncanny likeness with him, and hopes he will be prepared to re-enact wild scenes of debauchery from his life - including the infamous sex tape between him and ex-wife PAMELA ANDERSON.

Lee says, "He would be my first choice to play me and that would be awesome. I love all his work and sometimes there are certain days when we look alike."

And the film, based on the band's autobiography THE DIRT, will be closely overseen by the GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS rockers to ensure an accurate representation.

Lee adds, "We've just got the script through and I haven't had a chance to read it. We haven't picked a director yet. The four of us will produce or co-produce to make sure everything is exact."
