Britian’s Got Talent winner, Paul Potts just keeps going from strength to strength! He has been selling millions of records and performing to millions of people all over the world, and now Paramount, one of Hollywood’s biggest movie studios is going to make a film based on his life!

Variety.com reports that Simon Cowell, the man behind Britain’s Got Talent, on which Paul was discovered will produce the film with Relevant Entertainment’s Michael Menchel and Steve Whitney.

Simon has himself admitted that when he first saw Paul, he didn’t expect great things, but in the end was floored by the power of his voice.

“That particular day was one of the worst, the acts were just terrible, we were fed up and on comes this guy with a funny little suit and bad teeth who looked very nervous,” Cowell told Daily Variety. “I can remember looking at the other judges, with that ‘here we go again’ feeling. We had 2,000 people in the audience, and I’ll never forget how much the room changed when he began singing.”

Menchel was originally made aware of Potts by his daughters, who showed him the infamous YouTube clips, and he called Simon to suggest a movie. Paramount execs needed only to watch the YouTube clips to get behind the idea.

“Most of these calls result in absolutely nothing, but this company got that it’s another ‘Billy Elliot,’ a story anyone in the world can understand,” Cowell said. “This was his last chance, and he literally decided to enter based on the toss of a coin. And despite his success off the back of the show, the only difference I see in him is that he got his teeth fixed.”

Everyone who reads our site regularly knows that Unreality TV loves Paul Potts! He frequented our forum before he won the show, and continues to do so when he can find time in his busy schedule. I wholeheartedly agree with Simon Cowell that fame has not changed Paul, he is as down to earth, friendly and helpful as he was before he reached the big time, and we are thrilled about this recent news. It couldn’t have happened to a nicer person.
