Rugby star and tabloid fixture Gavin Henson is making the move into films thanks to fellow Welshman Catherine Zeta-Jones. The 23-year-old player will make a guest appearance as himself in Coming Out, a fish-out-of-water comedy being funded by Catherine, who is making her debut as a film producer. She said: "It's about a gay teenager from a little town in Wales who goes to London to pursue musical theatre. His father dies and leaves him the local rugby club in his will. He's doing West Side Story and has to go back home to get these fat, drinking, smoking Welsh guys into shape to win the rugby tournament." Gavin, alias Mr Charlotte Church, will play a member of an opposition team. The movie will be filmed in Llanelli, West Wales, which is right on the door step of Catherine's home town of Swansea (and presumably has a nice golf course). She added: "I grew up among rugby fanatics - the film is very close to my heart."
