Millie Bobby Brown has made it her ‘life mission’ to play Britney Spears in her upcoming biopic, changing her entire look and reportedly enlisting her famous father-in-law in her attempts to secure the part.
But portraying the Princess of Pop will be no easy feat for the Stranger Things star, whose biggest hurdle is Britney herself – and having watched her audition tape, she is unconvinced that Millie has what it takes.K
The actress, 21, has long been vocal been about how much she wants to play the Hit Me Baby…
One More Time singer, once describing it as her ‘dream role’ before the tell-all biopic, based on Britney’s best-selling book, The Woman In Me, was announced.
‘Millie Bobby Brown is so desperate to play Britney that those close to her feel it has become her life mission right now,’ an insider told DailyMail.com. ‘She believes she was born for this role. ‘The problem is, Britney isn’t on board. She doesn’t see the resemblance.’The insider said that Millie has ‘not spoken directly with Britney’, but added that the singer, who is heavily involved in the project, has ‘seen her audition tape’.
They claimed that ‘desperate’ Millie is doing everything in her power to convince the pop star, 43, even going as far as revamping her appearance.Millie debuted a new blonde look earlier this month – one that is strikingly similar to Britney’s – and has flaunted it all over social media.’Her new look is clearly an attempt to show she can embody Britney,’ the source said. The actress has even tried to use her famous father-in-law, Jon Bon Jovi’s ‘connections’ to help her get the role, according to the insider.’She has been trying to leverage connections through her well-connected father-in-law in a bid to land the role that she has dreamed of long before a biopic was even announced,’ they said.But the source added that no matter how hard Millie tries to ’embody Britney’, the singer is still ‘not convinced’.’The casting process has been going on for months, and if Millie were the perfect choice, they would have cast her by now,’ they said.’They can make her look like Britney with prosthetics and makeup, but ultimately, Britney will make the final call, and she’s not convinced by Millie right now.’
