Emma Roberts Also Heard That Britney Spears Biopic Casting Suggestion And She Loves It: ‘It’s My True Dream’
Emma Roberts responded to suggestions she could play Britney Spears in the upcoming biopic about the pop star calling it a 'true dream' role.
In an interview with Cosmopolitan magazine, 33-year-old Space Cadet star was asked about recent headlines in which Spears’ longtime assistant, Felicia Culotta, pitched Roberts as the perfect actress to portray the pop superstar in the biopic adaptation of Brit’s best-selling The Woman In Me memoir. I mean, it’s my true dream to play Britney Spears,” said Roberts of Culotta’s TMZ interview, in which she suggested that Emma’s child star roles on Nickelodeon shows such as Unfabulous were a good parallel to Brit’s younger years on The All-New Mickey Mouse Club. Spears’ tell-all debuted at the top of the New York Times best-seller list year year and following a bidding war Universal won the rights to adapt it into a film, with Wicked director Jon M. Chu attached to bring it to the big screen along with producer Marc Platt.
