Jean Dujardin takes on Wall Street

Jean Dujardin looks set to star in The Wolf Of Wall Street

Jean Dujardin is in talks to join Martin Scorsese's The Wolf Of Wall Street.

It would be the Hollywood debut of the Oscar-winning French actor, who won awards for his silent performance in The Artist, reported Variety.

Jean is tipped to be cast as a "suave Swiss banker" in the financial drama, which is based on Jordan Belfort's memoir and adapted by Terence Winter.

Leonardo DiCaprio is already on board as a substance-addicted New York stockbroker, while Jonah Hill and Kyle Chandler also have parts.

Filming on The Wolf Of Wall Street is expected to begin this summer.

Jean - who has also won Bafta, Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild awards for his turn as silent film star George Valentin in The Artist - will next return to his native tongue in French film The Players.

He is also set to star in thriller Mobius opposite Lie To Me's Tim Roth and a remake of Claude Berri's One Wild Moment with Vincent Cassel.

The pay will be excellent and there will be a lot of fringe benefits, too. Don't talk about a neighbour's private life in mixed company.More
