Bradley Cooper is in line to play bouffant-haired Bee Gee Barry Gibb in a forthcoming film about the huge-selling band, it has been reported.
Barry Gibb is the only surviving member of the Bee Gees, the band he formed with his younger twin brothers Maurice and Robin.
Cooper received multiple Oscar nominations for his directing debut A Star Is Born, and sang on Shallow, the Oscar-winning song from the film.
The Bee Gees’ 1977 record Saturday Night Fever is still the bestselling soundtrack album ever, and spawned a string of hits including Stayin’ Alive and Night Fever.
