Gary Busey has signed up for 'Celebrity Big Brother'.
The 70-year-old star - who is best known for playing the title role in 'The Buddy Holly Story' and also starred alongside Keanu Reeves in 'Point Break' - has reportedly made a deal to compete in the new series of the reality show this summer.
Helen Flanagan, the former 'Coronation Street' actress and reality TV enthusiast, was also offered a place in the house but is said to have turned it down, leaving Channel 5 bosses desperate to top the success of its previous series, which starred Luisa Zissman, Blue's Lee Ryan and Jasmine Waltz.
A 'Celebrity Big Brother' insider told The Sun newspaper: "The pressure is on for producers to match the last series of 'CBB' but it's going to be tough.
"Bosses always like a Hollywood star in the mix and Gary ticks that box."
The veteran actor most recently appeared in the hit US series 'Entourage', where he played an exaggerated version of himself, and in reality show 'Celebrity Rehab', where he was treated for substance abuse.
'CBB' producers are hoping he will open up about his experiences in Hollywood when he enters the house.
Meanwhile, 'Gogglebox' star George Gilbey - who is a firm favourite on the Channel 4 series - is set to join Gary on the show.
The source added: "Producers hope George will be a cheeky chappie but are gutted Helen turned them down."

Michelle Keegan wants to star in a comedy series.
The former 'Coronation Street' actress hasn't figured out her next career move after leaving the ITV soap last month, but says her dream is to act in a more light-hearted show because playing Tina McIntyre provided her with enough drama to last a lifetime.
She told Britain's OK! magazine: "I haven't had a chance to stop and think. It's been a total whirlwind. Obviously doing [my new Lipsy] fashion collection is a dream of mine and I want to continue acting. I'd love to do a comedy series.
"When I was in 'Coronation Street' it was quite drama heavy with lots of crying, but I loved doing the comedy scenes with Steve McDonald."
Michelle - who is set to tie the knot with former 'The Only Way is Essex' hunk Mark Wright - hasn't ruled out trying her luck in Hollywood, either.
She said: "I wouldn't mind giving it a go, so I can never look back and think, what if? It doesn't intimidate me, though - I'd like to at least say I tried."

Jennifer Lopez "still believes" in love.
The three-times married star - who recently ended her two-year relationship with Casper Smart - believes she has got "smarter" about the choices she makes in her personal life and says her new outlook on life is reflected in new album 'A.K.A.'.
She said: "I believe in love more than ever, but I think I've gotten a little bit smarter about it.
"I like to think I've grown up a little bit, and I think all that is reflected on the album. You hear that, you hear a stronger Jennifer maybe than you have in the past."
The 44-year-old superstar credits her five-year-old twins Max and Emme - whose father is her third husband Marc Anthony - with giving her the motivation to keep working hard as she wants to give them the best life possible.
She explained to the New York Daily News newspaper's Confidenti@l column: "I want to give them the best life. You want them to have everything, you want them to grow up and have everything better than you had it.
"Learn more than you did and not make the mistakes you did. You just want everything to be perfect for them, so they definitely motivate me to be better -- yes, in my job -- but a better person."

Olivia Munn works out every morning to "combat" obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).
The 'Deliver Us From Evil' actress finds the daily sessions with a personal trainer help ease the symptoms of the anxiety disorder - which sees sufferers experience obsessive thoughts and often indulge in repetitive behaviours - though she is unsure how they keep her calm.
She said: "To combat my OCD, a trainer helps me work out every day 6 a.m. I don't know what he does, but it helps. We talked over the weekend."
The 33-year-old actress also admitted she never brushes her hair and isn't faithful to using any particular product on it.
She said: "I'm Chinese so I have thick hair, which I don't brush, and use different products. I love vintage shopping."
And despite her slender frame, Olivia insists she never diets and is always happy to indulge in her favourite foods.
She said: "I don't diet. I eat plenty. Lunch was chicken marsala, miso soup, spare ribs. I send up Korean and Indian room service."
The actress will next be seen in supernatural thriller 'Deliver Us From Evil', which is based on a true story and she found it helpful having the person her character is based on on set with her.
She told the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column: "The film's based on a true New York story. I play the real cop's supportive wife. They're now divorced. But she was on set with me and led me through how it all was."

Halle Berry thinks TV is now better than film.
The 47-year-old actress - who has children Nahla, six, with ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry, and eight-month-old Maceo with husband Olivier Martinez - was unimpressed with the movie scripts she was receiving and had no desire to return to work until she was approached to appear in sci-fi drama series 'Extant'.
She told Entertainment Weekly: "I was being offered parts that I felt like I had done before. They weren't exciting enough for me to leave my family for four months. I realised some of the best writing especially for women, was on television.
"The minute I started to read ['Extant'], I couldn't put it down. I thought, 'Wow. This is different.' It's innovative."
The highly-anticipated miniseries sees Halle play infertile astronaut Molly Woods who returns from a year-long solo space mission pregnant, and the brunette beauty was attracted to the character because of her "complicated" life.
She added: "Molly is a strong female character, which I really love to play. Molly is a complicated woman with a complicated family
"Who is a woman who goes away to space for a year and leaves her husband, first of all? Who is a woman who comes back pregnant and tries to handle it somehow on her own? That just felt like a complication that I wanted to be a part of."

Adam Levine claims he wasn't paid for his film debut in the comedy 'Begin Again'.
The Maroon 5 frontman plays musician Dave Kohl in the film - which also stars Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo - and has claimed he chose to do the movie for the experience and not the pay cheque.
He told USA Today: "I did this movie for no money. I'm very lucky that I'm in that position.
'I want to have good experiences. I don't want to do a bunch of s**t that I hate. I want to treat [acting] completely differently because I have the very fortunate luxury of not having to think of this in terms of money."
Adam, 35, has earned enough money from his band and stint as a coach on the American version of 'The Voice' that he can afford the luxury of working for free.
He is also set to return to 'The Voice' for the NBC show's seventh series starting in September, the same month Maroon 5 release their fifth studio album.
Meanwhile, Adam, is engaged to model Behati Prinsloo and the pair plan to marry on July 19 in Mexico.
He previously admitted he "lost his equilibrium" when he proposed to the brunette beauty and ended up "on both knees" to pop the question.
Talking about his fiancee, he said: "She's incredible and that alone makes me the luckiest person in the world."

Dolly Parton claims her voice is "not fake".
The 68-year-old singer has spoken out after claims she mimed during her Glastonbury performance on Sunday night (29.06.14) and insists she did sing live at the event at Worthy Farm in South East England.
She told The Sun newspaper: "My boobs are fake, my hair's fake but what is real is my voice and my heart."
Newsreader Kay Burley took to Twitter after Dolly's set to suggest the '9 to 5' singer was miming.
She tweeted: "Oh, Dolly is miming. How disappointing."
The comment was re-tweeted hundreds of times and fans including comedian Stephen Fry jumped to her defence, claiming it was a "HD live processor issue".
A spokesman for Dolly also slammed the comments about her miming.
They told The Sun: "It's ridiculous to suggest Dolly was miming. She's been performing for more than 60 years - she doesn't need to.
"This should not overshadow what was truly a great gig and accomplished performance. Dolly adored every single moment."
Meanwhile, Dolly - who performed her energetic set in front of more than 200,000 adoring fans clad in a white suit covered in rhinestones - had received a surprise award prior to her set.
She was presented with a congratulatory plaque by Glastonbury organiser Michael Eavis and her manager Danny Nozell in honor of selling 100 million albums worldwide.

Lady Gaga and Judas Priest could collaborate.
The 'Applause' hitmaker has been discussing working with the veteran metal band on a new single and the band's singer Rob Halford seems keen on working together in the future.
He told the Huffington Post: "I've been a huge fan of Gaga since she first burst on the scene. I just love everything that lady represents. First and foremost, her voice is extraordinary. I love her voice. She's an accomplished musician, she plays piano really well, she's just a great songwriter. And she's a beacon of hope for a lot of people in the world."
The 'Breaking the Law' rocker met Gaga for the first time when he was a guest at a concert in San Diego, California - and now the pair are making plans to hit the studio together.
He said: "[Meeting her] was a real moment come true. We didn't really have much time to talk. She's busy. I'm busy, but we've agreed to get together at some point and just hang out and maybe do something. I don't know if that will ever happen, but I love her to death."
Gaga has previously spoken about her love of metal music and recently hung out with Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante.

Bruno Mars has helped to save a fan's life with his music.
The 28-year-old singer's hit tracks were used by doctors to treat 11-year-old Zumyah Thorpe following a car accident which left her with severe physical difficulties and brain damage, and killed her mother and two sisters.
Staff at the UH Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio, played Bruno's songs to Zumyah throughout her recovery and insist the music has helped her progress.
Paediatric neurologist, Nancy Bass, told WKYC: "I am absolutely convinced that singing those Bruno Mars songs and being able to say 'Bruno Mars' is in itself a miracle ... knowing all the words to the songs has helped her recover.
"I asked her who her favourite singer was and she said, 'Bruno Mars' as quick as anyone would say any singer, and she just started singing every single word."
The 'Marry You' hitmaker - who was performing in Cleveland, Ohio, on Saturday (28.06.14) - dedicated the performance to Zumyah who was in the audience and serenaded her with her favourite track 'Just The Way You Are'.
The hunky singer also gifted the brave little girl with his guitar and signature fedora.
Following the show, Bruno tweeted a snap of himself and Zumyah along with the caption: "Zumyah tonight you gave my band and I something we've never felt before. you're an inspiration to the world! #WeLoveYouZumyah."
