The Damned United star, who won critical acclaim for his portrayal of Tony Blair in 2006 movie The Queen, will be playing the part of Russian chess player Garry Kasparov in the band's new single (It's Not War) Just The End Of Love.
The band's bassist Nicky Wire revealed the surprising news to UK music magazine NME.

He added: "That's the kind of vibe behind it. It's real '70s Russia – just that idea of 'It's not war, just the end of love', I think a chess game really fits it."
