EastEnders - Meat Loaf to join cast
Friday, 9 May 2008
Meat Loaf wants to star in 'EastEnders'.
The 'Bat Out Of Hell' singer - who will soon begin his UK tour - is desperate to have a role in the BBC soap, and wants to play the love interest of legendary character Dot Branning (nee Cotton), played by June Brown.
He told London radio station Heart FM: "I love 'EastEnders', I do. I tell you what would be good is if I turned up as this guy who dated Dot.
"I could come in a think she was the most beautiful woman in the world. I tell you, if I could pull that off it would be a hell of a performance and I could get any role in any movies I want!"
However, Meat Loaf - who has starred in movies including 'Fight Club' and 'Wayne's World' - got slightly carried away and invented an entire storyline for the soap.
He added: "Then Phil Mitchell would get jealous that I'm dating her because he realises how much he loves her, then we would get into this massive brawl over Dot and I kick his a** and I take over the Queen Vic! That would be my ideal storyline if I got a part on 'EastEnders'."
