British actress Tilda Swinton has revealed that she would “absolutely” like to play US talk show host Conan O’Brien in a movie about his life.
O’Brien, 46, said on his final night hosting the Tonight Show last week that if HBO ever decided to make a movie about him, he would want to be played by the Oscar-winning actress.
During a recent interview, Swinton, 49, said that she would be only too happy to take on the role if it were offered to her.
She said: “I’ve heard about Conan! I’m so thrilled. I would just be only too happy. Yes, yes, yes, absolutely.”
The I Am Love star then said she would like to see the TV host return the favour.
She said: “What I really would love to do is get him to do some of the things I get to do. It would be nice if he were here at Sundance [Film Festival] maybe, wearing this coat, talking about I Am Love.”
