..So, something a little bit more uplifting......wondering what our Tom’s been up to...I’m thinking that he might do a Harry and Meghan and go off to live the Hollywood life in LA....


Captain Sir Tom Moore signs film deal - and wants Michael Caine or Anthony Hopkins to play him...

He jokes: "I don't know of any 100-year-old actors but I'm sure Michael Caine or Anthony Hopkins could do a wonderful job."

Captain Sir Tom Moore will have a film made about his life, following a fierce bidding war over rights to his story.

The World War II veteran, who raised £38.9m for the NHS by walking laps of his garden, has also broken two Guinness World Records, scored a Number One single and been knighted by the Queen.

The centenarian joked: "I don't know of any 100-year-old actors but I'm sure Michael Caine or Anthony Hopkins could do a wonderful job if they were prepared to age up!"

Earlier this month, on the publication of his autobiography and the launch of his charity foundation, he said he would love David Beckham to play him due to his "charm".

Described as "uplifting" and "life-affirming", the biopic is being fast-tracked and will be shot next year.

It will focus on the former British Army captain's relationship with his family, and how he inspired them after moving into their home following the death of his wife.


The movie will also draw on his military career and look at the way personal grief and the horrors of war helped him develop a determination that has shaped his life.
