When asked about his role in the film, Mr Geldof said he “can’t wait to see it, especially with the cast.”

Last week he opened up about the role while walking the red carpet at the Brisbane International Film Festival.

“I am actually starring in Zombie Plane. Obviously, I’m very f —king nervous because this is a big acting role,” he said of his casting, the first in 12 years.

It’s far from his first acting work, having starred in the 1982 film Pink Floyd: The Wall and the Spice Girls film Spice World in 1997.
