Rihanna reveals the actress she wants to play her in a movie… who has ‘a nice forehead,’ starred opposite Timothee Chalamet and dated Harry Styles
Rihanna has revealed the actress that she would select to play her if a movie were made about the story of her life.
The 36-year-old pop star gave the name of a woman who starred opposite Timothee Chalamet in one of his recent releases.
Alongside her glittering career, the actress in question has also led a high-profile personal life, as she used to date Harry Styles.
Explaining why she chose the person she chose, Rihanna explained that ‘she got like a nice forehead’ and a ‘fly’ sense of style.
‘And I feel like I wanna be her so I want her to like pretend to be me. I want people to see me in that light,’ Rihanna added to E! News.
Rihanna’s actress of choice is Taylor Russell, who played opposite Timothee in the 2022 cannibal road movie Bones And All.
The picture was directed by Luca Guadagnino, who previously helmed Timothee and Armie Hammer’s gay coming-of-age drama Call Me By Your Name.
Although Bones And All flopped financially, it received a respectable response from the critics to the tune of an 81% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
On the personal front, Taylor dated Harry for a little over a year, following his breakup from his Don’t Worry Darling director Olivia Wilde.
Harry and Taylor’s last public sighting together was a bike-riding excursion in Tokyo this April, and a few weeks later it was reported that they had split.
‘They went through a rough patch after their trip to Japan and are taking some time apart,’ a source claimed to The Sun in May.
Taylor made a showstopping solo appearance at that month’s Met Gala in a Jonathan Anderson creation that featured a wooden corset with a trompe l’oeil floral motif.
Meanwhile Rihanna and her boyfriend A$AP Rocky share two sons – RZA, two, and Riot Rose, who will turn one this coming August.
