NEWBRIDGE boxing ace Joe Calzaghe is ready to write a new chapter in his career - as a movie star.

Mr Calzaghe, who never lost as a boxer, is signed on to star in two films.

He revealed on Twitter on Friday that he's landed a role in a horror movie with Spooks star Rupert Penry-Jones and his agents Back Door Productions also confirmed he has accepted in role in a John Hurt movie.

The Argus can also reveal that the former two-weight world champion will make an appearance in the new Ruth Jones sitcom Stella and is also being lined up for a role in the Gareth 'Alfie' Thomas biopic.

"I have been working hard on the acting and I am chuffed to have some exciting things lined up," Mr Calzaghe told the Argus.
