Matt Goss gives us, well, all the goss on his plans to one day make a biopic of his life.
In an exclusive chat with Guilty Pleasures, the Bros legend shared his ambitions for a big-screen follow-up to 2018’s After The Screaming Stops, the much-quoted documentary about him and his twin brother Luke.
‘Our lives have almost been science-fiction,’ Matt, 54, said. ‘Luke was born, they cut the umbilical cord, didn’t know my mum was having twins – that I was still in there. That’s how I’ve always wanted the film to start.’
The When Will I Be Famous? singer wouldn’t shy away from the darker times, like the death of his sister Carolyn in a car accident, because he wants the movie to be ‘warts-and-all.’
The tragedy of losing his sibling happened at the height of Bros’s fame in the ’80s. As Matt explained: ‘It was surreal, coming back and having 700 people at your house, knowing you’re going into some terrible news, then three days later you’re doing Terry Wogan.’
He had a similar experience when his mother died in 2014. ‘Three days later, I was on Good Morning America,’ he added.

Who would potentially play both him and Luke? ‘That’s a hard one,’ Matt pondered, before quipping: ‘Idris Elba.’
One incident that probably won’t make the cut is when the former Strictly contestant broke his tailbone on stage. ‘They had to almost snap it back into place. It was the single most painful thing I’ve ever experienced,’ he said. ‘Who knew? We’re robust fellas, until you flick us in the coccyx!’
