Mariah Carey has said that she would like X Factor sensation, Leona Lewis, to play her character in a movie about her life story.

The diva said: "I know she can sing like me, that's for sure."

We all know Leona can belt out the tunes - but, since when was she a good actress!? The 'Bleeding Love' singer will be seen in 'Black Jesus' which is due out later this year - but, whether she's any good or not - who knows!?

Would you pay to see a film about Mariah, let alone Leona Lewis try and play the diva's outlandish character?
