JADE Goody is in line for a Hollywood acting career after she was approached by a top talent agency.

The Big Brother bigmouth is in talks with the powerful William Morris Agency about signing on to their US books.

She now plans to head to New York to study method acting next year before going to LA for a series of meetings and auditions.

Jade, 25, said: “They said they want to cast me as the ultimate cockney girl. I know Robbie Williams didn’t crack America — but I reckon I can.

“I want to study method acting, then go to Los Angeles for castings during the pilot season.” Pilot season is when producers, directors and writers showcase their new ideas for network executives and cast around for new acting talent.

The agency, which represents superstars including Scarlett Johansson, Russell Crowe, Emma Thompson and Kirsten Dunst, was put in touch with Bermondsey-born Jade by American Heather Howard, who appears as a judge on her Living TV show Jade’s PA. Ex-dental nurse Jade’s bid to take on Hollywood may also be filmed for a fly-on-the-wall show.

The Londoner, famous for flashing her “kebab” belly on Big Bruv, told pals she was encouraged by the movie successes of ex-EastEnder Sean McGuire and hardman Vinnie Jones.

She added: “I’ve been told there’s room for a cheeky cockney girl in Hollywood, so I reckon it might as well be me. It will also be quite nice to be hanging out shopping with Lindsay Lohan and clubbing with Paris Hilton.”

Mum-of-two Jade revealed earlier this year that she would make her acting debut in a movie version of Catherine Tate’s hit TV comedy show.

She said at the Cannes Film Festival that she will play a girl who is given an Asbo alongside main character Lauren Cooper.

Jade hasn’t decided exactly how long she will spend in the States, as she is also in talks for further TV projects and promotional work in the UK. She is also reluctant to travel without her sons Bobby Jack, three, and Freddie, two.

And she recently told how she can’t bear to be apart from her 19-year-old boyfriend Jack Tweedy, whom she hopes to wed.

Jade said: “Jack is everything to me. I’m happy when I’m with him, I miss him when he’s not there.”

But she also told pals she is determined to make the most of life after recently being given the all-clear following tests for suspected bowel cancer.

Jade, who lives in Ongar, Essex, has risen from nobody to superstar since appearing in Big Brother four years ago.

After leaving the TV house as fourth runner-up, she is now thought to be worth about £5million having earned around £1million from TV and mag appearances.
