EXILE's AKIRA to take on the leading role in GTO remake

EXILE member AKIRA will be taking on the lead role in the remake drama of GTO due to be shown from July 2012 on FujiTV at 10pm Tuesdays. The role had initially been given to Akanishi Jin but he was dropped due to his surprise marriage announcement to Kuroki Meisa. According to insiders, AKIRA was selected not only for his wild image but also because of the manga author's wishes. AKIRA made his debut as an actor in 2008 and this is his first leading role in a drama.
