Hollywood bosses are reportedly in a bidding war to create a biopic movie about music legend David Bowie, which promises to give a detailed look into his life, including his raunchy private life and launch into fame.

Suzi Ronson, the wife of Mick Ronson who was Bowie’s right-hand man, has revealed her autobiography is being turned into a huge big-budget movie. The book, Me And Mr Jones: My Life With David Bowie And The Spiders From Mars came out last year, and now Suzi is hoping it will be a ‘great movie’.

During a talk at the first Ziggyfest Bowie fan event, Suzi said she was excited about seeing who won the rights for the movie. 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 movie is also set to include her one-night stand with the superstar, which happened while he was still married to his first wife, Angie. She told The Sun: “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.”

She added: “I went to do her hair on a Wednesday and she said: ‘I have got to look fabulous. I am going on a date tonight.’ 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. David used to mark his territory. He was definitely flamboyant in that regard.”

Suzi, best known for creating David Bowie’s iconic Ziggy Stardust look, revealed the secrets behind the transformation as she said: “I used to do David’s mum’s hair and I got introduced to Angie to cut David’s hair off. I never thought I would be talking about him 52 years later.”

Revealing how the orange spiked hair came about, she said: “He showed me a photo of a girl with spiky hair and said, ‘Can you do that?’ I thought, ‘This is a girl’s hairstyle. I didn’t have the dye. No one had products in those days. So I went away and found the colour and used this anti-dandruff treatment called Guard, and it set hair like stone.”

She added: “With that bright red hair, he looked incredible. He looked like Ziggy Stardust. The ladies loved Bowie and the band in their glam rock outfits.”
