Dave Grohl has found the person he wants to play him in a proposed Kurt Cobain biopic - and it's a woman.

Former Nirvana drummer Grohl has joked to People that Shelley Duval should portray him in the film.

"I don't know about anyone else, but I'm crossing my fingers that Shelley Duvall plays me," he says.

"Shelley Duvall in The Shining ... that is my face, you cannot get any closer than that."

Negotiations are underway for the film about Cobain's life. It is reportedly based on the book Heavier Than Heaven by Charles R Cross.
