Millie Bobby Brown Sparks Rumors of Playing Britney Spears in New Biopic!

by

Millie Bobby Brown expresses her strong desire to portray Britney Spears in Jon M. Chu’s adaptation of her memoir, The Woman In Me. The actress from ‘Stranger Things’ has openly shared her admiration and connection with the troubled pop icon, stating during an interview that “I aspire to play a real person, and for me, that would be Britney Spears.” She further expressed that “her story … strikes a chord in me.” Now, fans are observing what seems to be a clear indication of her readiness to portray the iconic pop star from the early 2000s.

Thanks to recent interviews and a brand-new hairstyle that screams Y2K fashion, as well as some intriguing outfits, fans of Britney Spears and Chris Brown have been keeping an eye on things. However, it’s important to keep in mind that nothing official has been confirmed about a possible collaboration between the two stars yet. That being said, let’s delve into Brown’s latest remarks regarding this topic and take a look at her new style. To see everything, scroll down below the next section.

Why Does Millie Bobby Brown Want To Play Britney Spears So Badly? And Who Else Is In The Running?

Speaking from the red carpet of her latest film, Brown explained her desire to play Spears thusly:

She truly embodies the definition of an icon, and I can’t help but wish I could be a part of her incredible journey. However, it’s her narrative, and I wholeheartedly support her telling her story in her own unique way. If there’s ever an opportunity for me to be involved, I’d be more than happy to.

Numerous actresses have expressed their desire to portray Britney Spears, a figure who resonates deeply with many women vying for the role. For those unaware of the pop sensation known as “…Baby One More Time” and her global impact, let us provide a brief explanation: after the release of her debut single in September 1999, Britney Spears quickly became the most famous teenager worldwide. Her rapid rise to fame – boosted by her dance moves, allure, and nostalgia (having been a performer on The Mickey Mouse Club alongside Ryan Gosling, Christina Aguilera, and Justin Timberlake in the past) – led to Spears becoming an international cultural phenomenon.

In simpler terms, the term “obsession” refers to an intense fascination or fixation. People were so deeply captivated by Britney Spears’ actions that the system surrounding her ultimately led to her highly publicized breakdown in 2007. This, along with other aspects of her life, are detailed in her memoir. Many actresses aiming for the role likely admired Spears during that period. Given that several of them became famous at a young age, they might empathize with the scrutiny and obsession Spears experienced.

It seems logical for Brown to distinguish herself by adopting a style similar to the pop star’s from the past, doesn’t it? Reports suggest that Emma Roberts, Sydney Sweeney, Sabrina Carpenter, and Renée Rapp are also interested in the role. However, it’s worth noting that only Carpenter and Rapp have been confirmed for their singing abilities among this group. (It’s not necessary to discuss Britney Spears’ singing skills here as everyone likely has strong opinions on that matter.)

Regardless of who is chosen for the roles, this movie is undoubtedly going to be a massive hit that we’ll eagerly wait for when it comes out. (Just like we were teenagers when Britney Spears was at her peak popularity, and yes, the media’s treatment of her left an indelible mark on us other young girls at the time.) And with the director from Wicked on board, how could we not be thrilled about it?
