Angelina Jolie set to play Nigella Lawson in new film

After the year Nigella Lawson’s had, it’s no great surprise that Hollywood producers fancy making a film about her, is it?

What with that nasty Charles Saatchi business, her assistants being done for fraud, plus the ol’ cocaine admission, it’s been quite the year for TV cook Nigella.

And who would make a better Nigella (apart from Nigella herself of course) than Hollywood royalty Angelina Jolie?


That’s right – rumour has it producers have inundated the Tomb Raider star with scripts, and she is their number one choice to play the Domestic Goddess.

Last night an insider told The Sun: “Angie had planned to take a lot of time off next year but this role is very tempting. She has been gripped like everyone else by all the drama surrounding Nigella these past few months and thinks she is a remarkable woman.

“The story has got it all — and she’s as intrigued as anyone else by it.”
