Britney Spears has finally addressed the ongoing speculation regarding Millie Bobby Brown portraying her in a potential biopic. The pop icon remains unconvinced about the Stranger Things star taking on the role, despite Brown’s determined efforts to secure the part.
The 21-year-old actress has been actively campaigning to portray Britney Spears, even going as far as leveraging her connections, including those of her famous father-in-law, Jon Bon Jovi. Brown has also undergone a complete transformation, adopting a blonde look to mirror Britney Spears’ signature style. However, it appears that these efforts have not been enough to persuade the pop sensation.
An insider close to the situation revealed to the Daily Mail on Saturday, March 1st, that Brown is deeply invested in securing the role. “Millie Bobby Brown is so desperate to play Britney Spears that those close to her feel it has become her life mission right now. She truly believes she was born for this role,” the source stated.
Despite Brown’s enthusiasm, Britney Spears has yet to be convinced. The source explained, “The problem is, Britney isn’t on board. She doesn’t see the resemblance.”
While Brown has not directly spoken to Britney Spears, reports suggest that the singer has already seen her audition tape. Unfortunately for Brown, Britney Spears remains skeptical about her ability to embody her life story accurately.
This revelation comes shortly after Millie Bobby Brown debuted her striking blonde look earlier this month. While some believed the transformation was a step toward perfecting her portrayal of Britney Spears, the reaction from fans and critics was mixed. Some felt that the resemblance still wasn’t strong enough, while others praised Brown’s commitment to the role.
However, according to the insider, the casting process has been dragging on for months, which may be an indication that Brown is not the definitive choice. “If Millie were the perfect fit, they would have cast her by now,” the source noted.
While Hollywood makeup and prosthetics could potentially enhance Brown’s resemblance to Britney Spears, the final decision ultimately rests with the singer herself. As of now, Britney Spears remains hesitant, and until she gives her approval, the fate of the biopic and its lead actress remains uncertain.
