While Michaels has been on stage for decades as the frontman for ‘80s glam metal icons Poison, he’s also no stranger to the glare of the cameras. He was the bait for a three-season rock n’ roll dating reality show Rock Of Love, won the third Celebrity Apprentice season in 2010 and had his own personal show Bret Michaels: Life As I Know It in the same year.

Now, Michaels wants to go one better and go for the silver screen. He told the Columbus Dispatch that he’s interested in making a film about his life and struggles (including his long battle with diabetes and recent health scares).

“I want to tell the story,” he told the Ohio paper. “Mostly, when you see rock movies, it has to be this over-the-top thing. I want to give people a Bret Michaels movie where they see that my life is a comedy of errors. I also want to show my fans how to get through the kind of troubles that would leave most people flat on the floor.”

He’s also plugging a new album and there’s a video for new single ‘Get Your Rock On’ below.
