09 November 2022
Britney Spears appears to have shut down the idea of a biopic about her life as she isn’t dead.
The ‘Toxic’ singer, 40, hit back at the concept of a biopic in a post about her turbulent family relationships after ‘Stranger Things’ actress Millie Bobby Brown, 18, said she would love to play her on screen.
Britney said: “I hear about people wanting to do movies about my life... dude I’m not dead !!!
She added in a long post on Instagram on Tuesday (08.11.22) alongside a picture of a pair of huge closed wooden doors: “Good news, good news!!! Still breathing… it’s funny the same two people who gave me life are the same exact 2 people who took it away… but guess what!!! I’m alive and I’m breathing again!!!
“Yeah I know I’ve posted too much this week on Instagram… kinda fun though!!!
“Now that I’m breathing… I have time... it’s different!!! I like it!!! I hear about people wanting to do movies about my life... dude I’m not dead!!!
“Although it’s pretty f****** clear they preferred me dead… I guess my family is going to lock their doors now!!!
“Either way... I just want to say hi and share these fabulous doors!!! I did kinda post too much this week… I’m embarrassed!!! I get it… oh well!!! Have a good day!!!”
Millie told of her dream of playing Britney on film on Monday’s (07.11.22) episode of ‘The Drew Barrymore Show’.
Drew asked the ‘Enola Holmes’ actress: “What would you like to do next?”, with Millie saying: “I wanna play a real person. I think her story, first of all, resonates with me.”
Millie added she shared Britney’s experience of “growing up in public” and said about watching the singer develop: “I see the scramble for words, 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.”
