Josh Harnett to star in West End

Woooooeeeee fittie alert! Hollywood hunk Josh Hartnett has been signed up to play the almost-lead role in the stage adaptation of Rainman.

And that adaptation takes place in London's very own West End.

The oscar winning film, originally starring Dustin Hoffman as autistic genius Raymond Babbitt has been 'radically re-imagined' for the present day.

Lush Hartnett, sorry, Josh Hartnett, will play Tom Cruise's role of Raymond's brother Charlie.

Josh said: "It has always been my intent to work on the London stage. It was only when I read the complex character of Charlie babbitt that I knew the time was right."

Damn right it's right!

Rainman is due to open at the Apollo theatre in September.
