It’s simply only a matter of time until we get a Rihanna biopic, right?
Obviously, it’s way too soon to even begin working on a possible film. Still, the music and makeup mogul has achieved so much in her career already that she’s more than earned the career retrospective film treatment.
Well, Rihanna was recently asked on the red carpet who she’d cast to play her in a film, and her answer was simply perfect.
E! News asked the singer at a Fenty Hair event earlier this week, and Rihanna appeared to be thinking hard before choosing…
Taylor is a great choice. She’s proven her acting chops through films like Waves and Bones and All and the TV series Lost in Space.
Still, Rihanna had personal reasons for picking Taylor.
“You know why? ‘Cause she got like a nice forehead. She’s fly,” the singer said.
“I feel like I want to be her, so I want her to pretend to be me. I want people to see me in that light,” she continued.
It seems like perfect casting, but here’s hoping Rihanna’s biopic doesn’t get off the ground at least until after her long-awaited ninth album comes to fruition.
