Boy George gave fans a stellar start to the weekend by surprise releasing his new single Good Intentions.
The synth-heavy dance track comes months after George released his latest solo LP ‘Cool Karaoke Vol. 1‘ and sees the star fire back at speculation surrounding his life, as he vows to live on his own terms.
“Don’t you come in here with your good intentions / Acting so sincere with your recollections,” the star declares on the sing-a-long chorus.
The new track follows George’s announcement that a movie based on his life and career will begin filming over the summer, as he launched a search for the flick’s leading star.
‘Karma Chameleon’ will shoot “in London and around the world,” George reveals, while hinting at casting details for the highly-anticipated project in a new social media video.
After revealing Daniel Mays will play his father, the star also hinted Keanu Reeves could make an appearance, as he revealed an actor has yet to be cast as the singer himself.
“There’s only one problem – and it’s quite major… who’s going to play me,” he teased. “We’re looking for a brave young actor from anywhere in the world to take on the role of his life. And It’s going to be brilliant!”
While casting has yet to be confirmed, George has put Harry Styles firmly in the runningto play the Culture Club frontman and previously told talkRADIO the star has “been approached or considered”.
“I know that Harry is embarking on an acting career,” George explained. “I think producers did look at him. I don’t know if it will actually happen.
“At the end of the day, acting is such a craft and I think it’s very challenging to play someone like me, because I think most people have the complete wrong idea of who I am and what I am. And a lot of the stuff about me is weird mythical rubbish.”
And he previously teased Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner could take on the lead role.
“There’s been some really interesting suggestions,” he said. “One of the most interesting suggestions was Sophie Turner. [People will say], ‘She can’t play you, she’s a woman’… but when I was 17, I would have loved to have been her.”
Turner responded by tweeting: “I’m SO down @BoyGeorge.”
