Stick 'em up punk, it's a frock-lovin' criminal
Huey Morgan to star as a transvestite drug dealer from Holland in new Irish film
The Hot Press Newsdesk
Fun Lovin' Criminal Huey Morgan are set to make an appearance in Headrush, the new movie by Irish director Shimmy Marcus.
Known for his work on Aidan Walsh, Master Of The Universe, Marcus' latest venture is a drugs-and-gangsters comedy. "It's Trainspotting meets Withnail And I," he says, "crossed with The Lavender Hill Mob."
Huey plays an unconventional Dutch drug dealer.
"It's a film about these two guys who try to take the easy way out," Morgan says, speaking exclusively to Hot Press. "I play a dealer from Holland, but he's also a transvestite. I don't know if I'll look like a woman. I'm kinda ugly when it comes to that kind of thing. It's gonna be pretty interesting seeing myself in the makeup and what-not."
Especially if you have to wax your legs.
"Well, I don't know if all these things have to be done," he laughs. "They can airbrush the hair out during editing - they do miracles on the computers now! But if the world demands a true thespian, of course I'll shave my legs. It might help me get into character too."
The all-star cast also includes Maureen Potter, Gavin Kelly, MC Wuzza, John Kavanagh, Tom Hickey and no less than Death Discoer BP Fallon. Shooting is set to begin in December.
