OHMYGOSSIP — Vinnie Jones wants to make a TV comedy.
The 55-year-old star became an actor after retiring from football in the late 90s, and Vinnie has now revealed he has ambitions to try his hand at comedy.
Vinnie – whose film credits include ‘Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels’ and ‘Snatch’ – told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: “I want to bring an old classic TV series back and modernise it. If I could throw a mixture in the pot it would be ‘Only Fools And Horses’ meets ‘Minder’, ‘The Avengers’ and ‘The Professionals’.”
Vinnie has carved out a successful career for himself in Hollywood, but he previously admitted that his acting career was actually the result of a “random accident”.
He explained: “I got a phone call from Matthew Vaughn and Guy Ritchie and they said, we’re going to do this movie [‘Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels’] and we’ve got a little cameo for you. I said yeah, no problem, and I went and done a couple of days’ filming.
“At the end of the film Guy asked me to do some reshoots and they made my role bigger. I didn’t think I’d be especially good at it but I just related the character to a couple of angry people I knew.
“It was, as the Watford manager said, just one big joke really, and then look what happened.”
Despite this, Vinnie admitted that as a child, he only ever thought about football.
He said: “I loved the outdoors; the fishing and the shooting and the woods and the rivers. But paramount was always football. You’d never, ever, see me without a football.
“When I was in a classroom I’d just be looking out the window at the playground, working out who would play against who at break time. That’s all I’d look forward to.”
