Who Will Play Britney Spears in the Biopic?
Rumors surrounding Spears' biopic claimed Sydney Sweeney might play the role of the "…Baby One More Time" singer, though no official announcement has been made.
On the other hand, Millie Bobby Brown expressed her desire to lead the project on the silver screen.
"I want to play a real person and I think for me, Britney. [It] would be Britney Spears. I think her story, first of all, resonates with me," the Stranger Things star said on The Drew Barrymore Show. "Just growing up in the public eye, watching her videos, watching interviews of her when she was younger. I mean, same thing with you. I see the scramble for words [in her interviews] and I don't know her, but when I look at pictures of her, I feel like I could tell her story in the right way and hers only."
Spears, at the time, dismissed the idea of having a biopic because she was "not dead."
