Publicist denies Myers screened for Moon role
  
LONDON (Reuters) - A spokeswoman for comedian Mike
Myers has denied a British newspaper report that he
had auditioned for the part of Keith Moon in a film
about The Who's drummer.

The Sun tabloid said earlier that The Who's singer,
Roger Daltrey, had auditioned Myers to play Moon in a
movie tribute to the late rock musician.

Myers's publicist, Ina Treciokas, speaking from New
York on Friday, said: "Mike did not audition for the
movie."

She said Daltrey had visited Myers on the set of his
latest Austin Powers movie, but he had come only as a
guest.

Moon, the original wild man of rock, died in 1978
after a drug overdose.

Myers plays a spoof James Bond-style spy in the Austin
Powers series of films.
