Britney Spears wants to embody the “Stranger Things” actress in a biopic.
Millie Bobby Brown as Britney Spears – the British actress would be very desire for this project. In a recent interview with “Access Hollywood”, the “Stranger Things” actress again confirmed her interest in playing the pop legend one day.
“She is an absolute icon,” said Brown. “I would rather do nothing but to be part of her story. But that’s her story, and I fully support you to tell her as she wants. ” She also added: “I would want someone to bring her to life in the most beautiful way, and I would always be open to it.”
Brown commented on her wish to embody a real person in the past. In an interview with Drew Barrymore, she explained that Spears’ life and career touch her deeply. “Simply growing up to see her in public, watch her videos, see her interviews when she was younger,” she said at the time. “I don’t know her, but when I see pictures of her, I have the feeling that I could tell her story in the right way – and only hers.”
Biopic has been planned for a long time
A year earlier, director Jon M. Chu explained that he wanted to stage a biopic about Britney Spears. “I can’t say much about that yet,” said Chu to “Billboard”, but added: “I’m a big fan of Britney.”
He further emphasized: “I want to live up to her and tell her story properly. But we will see. We are currently developing it and it’s a long way. “
In August last year, Britney Spears was positive about working with producer Marc Platt in a film adaptation of her memoirs “The Woman in Me”. It later became known that Jon M. Chu was also involved in the project at Universal Pictures.
Millie Bobby Brown is not the only one who likes it
Millie Bobby Brown is not the only one who is interested in the role of Britney Spears. In August 2024, Emma Roberts commented on rumors that she was under discussion for the role. “I was totally out of the house,” she said “Cosmopolitan”. “I mean it is my real dream to play Britney Spears. It’s a rumor, but I hope it might be true. I mean, I remember that I was locked up in my room, heard and said in the zone: ‘I can’t leave this room until I can memorize every word.’
Tikok star and singer Addison Rae also talked in November, but from a different perspective: “I don’t think anyone deserves to play her,” she told “iheartradio”. “I think she really created something that is inviolable and so in his own league that nobody will ever be able to repeat what she has done for the music and even entertainment industry.”
