Will Angelina Jolie get a chance to play Nigella Lawson in a new Hollywood movie about the controversial television (TV) chef? If plans to make a film about Lawson push through, then it looks like Jolie will be the top choice to play her.

According to Perez Hilton, Hollywood is poised to make a movie about 54-year-old Lawson who has been in the headlines lately for the fraud trial against her personal assistants, sisters Elisabetta and Francesca Grillo from Italy.

Lawson and her ex-husband Charles Saatchi accused the Grillo sisters of using their company's credit cards for their personal gain. During the course of the said trial, Lawson's alleged drug use was highlighted. The Grillos were acquitted on Dec. 20 2013.

Even though Jolie is only 38 years old and is much too young to play a 54-year-old woman, Perez Hilton reports that Jolie is intrigued by Lawson's story. Hilton's sources say that Jolie's plans to take a break might not happen if she gets offered the chance to play Lawson in a film.

"Angie had planned to take a lot of time off next year but this role is very tempting. She has been gripped like everyone else by all the drama surrounding Nigella these past few months and thinks she is a remarkable woman. The story has got it all - and she's as intrigued as anyone else by it," said Hilton's unnamed sources.

Although they don't really look alike, the magic of makeup and Jolie's talents as an actress could make her believable as Lawson.

It's not at all surprising if a Hollywood movie about Lawson actually gets made because her life story seems made for film due to its twists and turns, controversies and intrigues, including her rise to fame, her divorce from art collector Charles Saatchi and her alleged drug use. Of course, it will also include her successful career penning her popular books and starring in her TV shows about food such as "Nigella Bites" and "Nigella Feasts."

Can Jolie actually pull off portraying Lawson in a movie? If not her, then who else can play the controversial TV chef in a possible Hollywood film? We'll just have to be patient and keep our eyes and ears open for more news on whether or not Angelina Jolie will play Nigella Lawson if ever a new Hollywood movie about the TV chef pushes through.
