Richards' Life on the big screen
----------------------------------

Keith Richards has revealed that his autobiography Life could be turned into a film.

The Rolling Stone was at the GQ Men of the Year awards this week to pick up a gong for best writer, for the warts-and-all account of his life as a hellraiser

"There are feelers out at the minute [but] I'm in no rush right at the moment," he told The Daily Telegraph, when asked about a movie.

Keith joked that finding someone to play the lead would be daunting.

"How are they going to find me? The idea of a succession of Keith Richards coming down is horrifying," he said.

The star recently told how his bandmates had given the book, which was published last year, good reviews but that Mick Jagger had said it was "a bit b****y here and there''.

Keith describes the frontman as "unbearable'' in the candid memoir and casts aspersions on his manhood.
