Rihanna Names ‘Stunning’ Actor She’d Cast In Her Own Biopic: ‘I Want To Be Her’

While the project remains merely hypothetical, the singer already has some thoughts.

Rihanna knows exactly who she’d want “to pretend to be me” in a biopic of her life.

The Grammy winner appeared visibly touched by the question Monday when asked on the red carpet of her Fenty Hair launch event and presumably realized, like the rest of us, that her rise from pop star to billionaire cosmetics mogul would make for an interesting project.

“Taylor Russell,” Rihanna told E! News at the celebratory Los Angeles fete. “You know why? ’Cause she got, like, a nice forehead. She’s, like, fly. And 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.”

While the biopic in question remains merely hypothetical at this point, Russell has already proven herself a worthy contender, winning the Marcello Mastroianni Award at the Venice Film Festival for her performance in “Bones and All” (2022) at 27 years old.

Russell has yet to publicly comment on the shoutout and is currently in pre-production on “Hope,” a Korean thriller co-starring Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander. Rihanna, too, seems busier than ever — despite recently donning a T-shirt that declared “I’m Retired.”
