Hollywood star Samuel L. Jackson is hoping to lure Jamaican sprint star Usain Bolt off the track and on to the big screen for the 2014 movie The Secret Service.
Except for lead spots in commercials for his sponsors such as Puma, Gatorade and Digicel, the world's fastest man - a six-time Olympic champion and 100m and 200m world record holder - has very little acting experience, but Jackson, who is one of the biggest movie stars on the planet is hoping Bolt's expectedly lighter schedule next year will make his big-screen debut possible.
Football star David Beckham is also being approached for a role in the movie, which is based on comic books, and has Colin Firth and Michael Caine playing superagents, according to the BBC. It will be directed by Brit Matthew Vaughn.
