Popular talk show host Stephen Colbert said he wants Hollywood star Hugh Jackman to play him if a film is ever made on the current investigation ordered on US President Donald Trump.
The "Late Show with Stephen Colbert" presenter seemed elated after it was revealed the POTUS has been put under scanner by special counsel Robert Mueller appointed to examine Russia's role in the US presidential election, reported Deadline.
Colbert, 53, called it a "historic moment" and said when a film is ever created on this explosive story, this episode of his talk show would "definitely" be a part of it.
"This is a huge moment! This is a historic moment! The president of the United States is presently under criminal investigation!
"When the movie comes out, this will definitely be in it. And I will definitely be played by Hugh Jackman," he said.
