Gavin and Stacey star Mathew Horne is to star in a BBC Two drama about Boy George.
The 90-minute drama, entitled Worried About The Boy, will focus on how the star went from a cloakroom attendant to a cultural icon.
The BBC said Worried About The Boy reflects on an "iconic" star and "the cultural era he is synonymous with".
Controller of BBC drama
commissioning Ben Stephenson said: "Worried About The Boy will be an
evocative and visually enticing drama about one of our most iconic
British pop stars."
Douglas Booth will portray Boy George - real name George O'Dowd - while Horne will play Jon Moss, the band's drummer, who famously had a relationship with him.
The 90-minute drama begins filming later this month.
The BBC Two film, commissioned as part of
the channel's 80s series, has been written by Tony Basgallop, who has
worked on Hotel Babylon.
