American actor Bruce Willis is tipped to play legendary F1 commentator Murray Walker in the Hollywood adaptation of Michael Schumacher's life story.

The British tabloid Daily Star said 53-year-old Willis - famous for starring in Die Hard, Pulp Fiction and The Sixth Sense - would make a "very convincing Walker if he put on a pair of specs".

Eighty-four-year-old Walker, who semi-retired in 2001, was among Schumacher's biggest admirers, covering from the commentary booth the German's rise to formula one in 1991 through four of his record seven titles.

"Bruce Willis would certainly do Murray justice," Schumacher's agent, Willi Weber, confirmed.
