“Gen X. Look away. This shall not tarnish our totally tubular memories of the ‘80s. Look away. I do not claim this energy,” said another social media follower.
Madonna will be the focus of a new biopic
Madonna is currently searching for a young actor to play her in a biopic, currently in pre-pre-production, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
The actors reportedly considered for the role include Inventing Anna star Julia Garner, Black Widow‘s Florence Pugh, Mayor of Kingstown actor Emma Laird, Euphoria‘s Alexa Demie, and singers Odessa Young, Bebe Rexha, and Sky Ferreira.
Madonna spoke about the project during an interview with Jimmy Fallon on his talk show The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon in Oct. 2021.
“I’m doing it [the film] because many people have tried to write movies about me, but they’re always men, ugh,” she explained.
“I read Universal was doing one, and they sent me the script because they wanted my ‘blessing,’ and I read it, and it was the most hideous, superficial crap I ever read. Then I found out; I won’t even say his name; some total misogynist was directing. And I’m thinking, ‘why would these people make a movie about me?’ There’s nothing true in the script, the guy making it has no understanding, appreciation, or respect for women.’ This happened a couple of times,” she revealed.
“No one on this planet can write or make a movie about me better than me,” Madonna concluded to Fallon.
