Emma Roberts Responded To Britney Spears Biopic Casting Rumors: "My True Dream"

3 weeks ago 10

After the release of her memoir, The Woman In Me, everyone's been asking who would play the Princess of Pop.

The Woman In Me, Britney's New York Times bestseller entered a studio bidding war after its release. Deadline reports Universal secured the rights, with Wicked director Jon M. Chu attached to develop and direct.

While Britney hasn't dropped a name for her possible biopic yet, people in the circle have tossed some names into the hat.

If you didn't know, Britney's former longtime assistant, Felicia Culotta, previously suggested to TMZ that Emma take on the role. According to TMZ, Felicia thinks Emma's child stardom on Nickelodeon's Unfabulous parallels Britney's time on Disney's The Mickey Mouse Club.

Emma caught the rumors, and it appears she's been preparing for this role for at least 20 years.

"I was like, I love her assistant," Emma told Cosmopolitan during an Aug. 29 interview. "I mean, it's my true dream to play Britney Spears."

"It's a rumor, but I hope maybe it'll come true. I mean, I remember I locked myself in my room and listened to In the Zone and said, 'I cannot leave this room until I memorize every word.'"

Emma has a deep admiration for Britney. "I mean, I sing Britney to my son in the bath all the time. I'm always like, 'God, he must think I'm so weird.' That's some millennial parenting."

Aside from suggesting Emma for the pop star, Britney's longtime assistant had a couple more surprising proposals for the biopic's casting.

And Felicia suggested Drew Barrymore plays herself.
