TOWIE star James Lock has been 'offered villain role in Bollywood movie'

James Lock could be swapping the small screen for the big screen after he was offered a role in a Bollywood movie.

The Only Way is Essex star, 32, was reportedly approached by a Bollywood producer and invited to audition for the role of a villain.

While it's believed to only be a minor role and despite having very little acting experience, it's believed that film bosses have assured James his "build and look" is exactly what they're looking for.

A source told the OK! online that James was keen on moving into acting and that it would be a 'dream come true' for the reality star.

"The part that they want him to audition for is a henchman for the villain of the film.

The source continued: "In India they love reality TV shows and their audiences over there have reacted well to British people appearing in Bollywood films.

"James still has to audition for the role so it’s not a sure thing yet, but he’s being taking the Indian Film Festival opening night."
