After Britney Spears‘ former assistant suggested that Emma Roberts should star in the upcoming Britney biopic, the actress called it her “true dream” to play the pop princess. Well, Billboard also picked our dream cast for the biopic, and (sorry to Emma), we have a different Britney in mind: Euphoria actress Sydney Sweeney.
On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are discussing all the possibilities for the film based on Spears’ memoir The Woman in Me, set to be helmed by Wicked director Jon M. Chu. Who should join Spears in the ultimate early 2000s pop power couple as Justin Timberlake? Who should play Britney’s mom, dad and sister? Revisit our Britney biopic dream cast here, and listen to the full podcast below:
