Millsy in movie deal
27 FEB 2004

THE producers describe it as Dumb and Dumber meets Crocodile Dundee, but Robert "Millsy" Mills's first foray on to the big screen sounds more like Ishtar meets Kangaroo Jack.

Mills yesterday confirmed he had signed up to star in a new Australian movie, G'Day LA.

Millsy will play outback camel racer Ryan "Rhino" Cobb, a character based on the real life adventures of Luke "Camel Man" Campbell, whose full-time job is trekking through the outback with his beloved camels.

The movie will be directed by Tom Jeffrey, who 25 years ago delivered the classic Australian film The Odd Angry Shot, which starred Graham Kennedy.

Mills and Sydney newcomer, Ronen Stoliar, play brothers who mistakenly sell the sperm of their champion racing camel to a wealthy Californian horse stud owner and, you guessed it, that's when the riotous adventure begins.

Millsy said it was the script that sold him on the role.

"I was on a plane and just pissed myself laughing," he said.

"It's very, very funny. But I think I'm going to have to beef up a bit to play a guy called Rhino."

G'Day LA will be Stoliar's first major role after bit parts in telemovies.

In typical brash Millsy fashion, he's convinced he's on a winner.

"I've got a really good gut feeling about this movie," he said.

Along with chasing movie stardom, Millsy is busy writing songs for his debut album, due out in June. And he revealed he had also auditioned for roles in Home And Away and The Secret Life Of Us (he has already tried out for Neighbours).

And no, for the record, he hasn't been in contact with Paris Hilton lately, though he has been watching The Simple Life with interest.

And no, Hilton's dumb blonde routine is no act. "No, that's her. That's who she is," Millsy said.
