A potential biopic of David Bowie promises to lift the lid on his private life.
Suzi Ronson, wife of Bowie’s right-hand man Mick Ronson, has revelaed her autobiography has been optioned with the hope of becoming a Hollywood movie.
The stylist, who helped create the singer’s famous Ziggy Stardust look, published Me And Mr Jones: My Life With David Bowie And The Spiders From Mars last year.
Speaking to The Sun, she said: ‘The book has now been auctioned to be made into a major motion picture. It hasn’t been bought but we are hoping it will be soon and it will be a great movie about the Ziggy Stardust days and his rise to fame.’
The film will also reportedly tackle Suzie’s one-night stand with Bowie which happened while he was still married to his first wife Angie.
Suzie said: ‘The bedroom at his home was pink with a gold ceiling. Everybody thought he was so gay. I was curious about him. I think Angie set me up.

‘David called me and said: ‘Why don’t you come over and do my hair?’ So I went up to London, had a great meal and he kind of seduced me.’
Suzie first did Angie’s hair who was so delighted with the result she summoned her to their home to do Bowie’s hair as well.
She styled his hair into a spiky red feather cut which ended up becoming his Ziggy Stardust look.
It comes after Bowie’s secret last project was discovered locked in his study by archivists.
Only Bowie and his personal assistant had a key to the study so the project, described in his notes as an ’18th Century musical’, had not been seen until his death in 2016.
The project’s existence was unknown to his closest collaborators but now the project, called The Spectator, has been donated to the V&A Museum, with the rest of Bowie’s archive.
The notes were found pinned to the walls and stored in his office in New York, exactly how he left them.
They focus on the development of art and satire in 18th Century London as well as stories of criminal gangs and the notorious thief ‘Honest’ Jack Sheppard.

Bowie had previously spoken of writing a theatre show was a lifelong ambition.
In 2002, he told BBC Radio 4’s John Wilson: ‘Right at the very beginning, I really wanted to write for theatre.
‘And I guess I could have just written for theatre in my living room – but I think the intent was [always] to have a pretty big audience.’
The unfinished project will be on show at the David Bowie Centre when it opens at the V&A East Storehouse in Hackney Wick on September 13.
It will showcase more than 90,000 iconic items from the singer’s illustrious career for fans and others to honour.
The special Bowie collection will include musical instruments, notebooks, guest curators and handwritten lyrics from the star, including Fame (1975), Heroes (1977) and Ashes To Ashes (1980).
It will also include costumes worn during his Ziggy Stardust period and examples of the ‘cut up’ method of writing which was introduced to Bowie by the writer William Burroughs.
