Like it or not, Nigel Farage is the most successful British politician of all time. He did the impossible, something not even Farage himself thought could be done, and took Great Britain out of the European Union. From start to finish, the Brexit story is a series of twists and turns, betrayals and bitterness. Now, we can relive the drama all over again as Brexit the movie is about to become a thing. A Hollywood studio is rumoured to have finished a script based on UKIP donor Arron Banks’ book ‘The Bad Boys of Brexit’. The story is going to be a six part film and has a £60million budget so expectations will be high.

The story follows Leave campaign advisor Gerry Gunster and of course, Nigel Farage.

The series is set to come out in April and although a Farage has not been cast, a number of famous faces are being considered for the part- Benedict Cumberbatch being one of them.

A likeness, perhaps?

Nigel Farage himself seems quite optimistic about the movie. He told the Daily Telegraph, ‘I am hoping if they do make the film, I think I should play me. I am really good at being me.’

Maybe we’ll see if Farage is good an actor as he is a politician..
