In a major casting coup, acclaimed actress Daisy May Cooper, 39, has been tapped to play the mother of legendary DJ Fat Tony in an upcoming biopic. The film will be based on Tony's 2022 memoir "I Don't Take Requests," which details his harrowing journey through addiction and his wild showbiz life.
The memoir recounts how Tony, whose real name is Tony Marnoch, struggled with a debilitating drug addiction while establishing himself as one of the biggest DJs on the London club scene.

However, Tony eventually found the strength to get sober and has since rebuilt his career, becoming a sought-after performer for the world's biggest celebrities, including the Beckhams and Kate Moss.
