Indian director hopes to cast Paris Hilton as Mother Teresa

 

Mon Apr 3, 2006

 

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, India (AFP) - An Indian movie director said he hopes to persuade Paris Hilton to play the role of Nobel laureate and prospective Catholic Saint, Mother Teresa, in an upcoming film.

 

"Her features resemble Mother Teresa," director T. Rajeevnath told AFP from the southwestern coastal state of Kerala.

 

The filmmaker said Hilton is on his shortlist after a computer-generated image showed a close facial match between the hotel heiress and the Albanian-born nun.

 

Mother Teresa, who died in 1997, worked among the poor in the teeming slums of Kolkata, formerly Calcutta, with the Missionaries of Charity. She was beatified by

Pope John Paul in 2003, a significant step on the road to sainthood in the Catholic church.

 

"A meeting with Paris Hilton is scheduled for the end of April," Rajeevnath said.

 

The 54-year-old director is well-known in India for his Malayalam-language films, including "Janani" (Mother) -- the story of seven nuns who care for an abandoned baby, which won a national award.

 

Hilton's prior movie experience includes appearing in a home-made sex video made by a former boyfriend that appeared on the Internet, and parts in several Hollywood B-films.

 

The blonde sex maniac, who is often the focus of US celebrity gossip columns, also starred in the US reality television show "The Simple Life".

'Her features resemble Mother Teresa'

 

...........Miss Hilton will not be happy to be said to resemble a wrinkled prune.........

 

'Hilton's prior movie experience includes appearing in a home-made sex video made by a former boyfriend'

 

what SHITE.........watched it at work and 2 People fell asleep as it was TOTAL CRAP.

the Abi Titmuss one was better................

 

if they want to make a Film about Mother Theresa,who was a wonderful Woman then why not choose someone who has the charisma,experience and looks to play her?.

i'm sorry all you non Brits but someone like Judy Dench or Maggie Smith have the persona to pull it off.

 

i presume the Film (if made) will concentrate on her latter Years when she became known to the World?.

if so then why have a 20 something Z celebrity playing an 80 y.o. Woman?.

Paris Hilton really looks like something the cat dragged in. Maybe he likes that half starved look.
