Emma Roberts Dreams of Playing Britney Spears in Biopic

Fueled by a suggestion from Britney Spears' longtime assistant, actress Emma Roberts has expressed her fervent desire to portray the pop icon in a biopic.

Following the suggestion by Felicia Culotta, who sees a parallel between Roberts' child star days on "Unfabulous" and Spears' early career on "The All-New Mickey Mouse Club," Roberts confirmed her lifelong dream of playing Spears.

"It's a rumor, but I hope maybe it'll come true," Roberts said in a recent interview with Cosmopolitan. She went on to describe a childhood memory of memorizing every word on Spears' album "In the Zone" and jokingly mentioning her current habit of singing Britney to her son in the bath.

Culotta also offered casting suggestions for other key roles, proposing Timothée Chalamet for Spears' ex Justin Timberlake and Drew Barrymore to play herself, Spears' assistant since 1997.

While the casting remains unconfirmed, Roberts' enthusiasm cements her interest in portraying the legendary pop star.
