Actor Richard E Grant is desperate to travel into space with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

The British star is hoping pioneering entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson will invite him to travel on the Virgin Galactic SpaceShip – which is set to rocket into space in 2010.

Grant has confessed he always wanted to be an astronaut and finds the idea of space travel fascinating.

He is quoted in Scotland’s Daily Record newspaper as saying: “Ever since I was 12, when I listened to Neil Armstrong’s historic words beamed back from the Moon on the radio, it has been an ambition to take a ride into outer space.”

Robbie Williams, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Moby are also hoping to be aboard the interstellar trip.Tickets are currently being snapped up at£115,000 per passenger.
