Amy Winehouse’s father has hit back at complaints over a new biopic about the singer’s life, saying there’s been too much emphasis on looks.
However, Mitch Winehouse, 72, jokingly changed his tune when he discovered he would be played by The Pact actor Eddie Marsan, rather than his first pick, Hollywood heartthrob George Clooney.
Mitch said: “I told my friend that Eddie was playing me and he said – excuse my French – ‘Eddie f****** Marsan! He’s not very good-looking.’ I said, ‘I know – I wanted George Clooney!’.”
