X Factor twins John and Edward Grimes have reportedly been invited to audition for Hollywood movie, The Hobbit.

The Sun reports that the movie’s producer Peter Jackson, is keen to see if the boys could play dwarves in his film.

A movie insider said: “Peter is keen to see if Jedward have any acting ability. He needs twins for these parts and they have a perfect look for the film.

“But the characters have very prominent roles. They are the youngest dwarves and are sent out scouting a lot.

“The big question is whether Jedward could settle down on a major shoot because they are so excitable and hyperactive.”
