Courtney Love wants James McAvoy - not Robert Pattinson - to play Kurt Cobain in the biopic of his musician’s life.
Cobain’s widow thinks the Scottish actor would be “great” for the role. If not McAvoy, then Ryan Gosling.
“Isn’t that so stupid, who would cast him? That’s just wrong, no offense,” Courtney said about the Pattinson rumors. “I watched the Twilight stuff very, very recently and I get it, it resonates with the teenage girl in me, I understand epic love of that nature; I write about it all the time. But isn’t that silly?”
The “Celebrity Skin” hitmaker told the Canadian Press she wants casting approval and a say on the script and hopes her producer pal Trudie Styler, Sting’s wife, will act as her “proxy” in making sure the movie is done “right.”
The rocker - who thinks it would be too painful to ever watch the film - claims she will scrap the project altogether if Moon producer Trudie declines to be involved.
