Ariana Grande Denies Audrey Hepburn Biopic Speculation
As you are probably aware, Ariana Grande recently returned to her acting roots with a critically acclaimed performance in Wicked, which was released in November.
Prior to being cast, Ariana — who was arguably better known for her music career before this movie came along — made no secret of her desire to play Glinda on the silver screen one day.
And after ticking off her dream role of Glinda, fans recently started to speculate that Ariana had set her sights on another prestigious movie role.
In recent months, several tweets claiming that Ariana is “campaigning” to play beloved Hollywood icon Audrey Hepburn in a biopic have gone viral, with many people drawing parallels between Audrey’s distinctive look and Ariana’s fashion, hair, and makeup choices.
The speculation ramped up a gear last week when Ariana wore a strapless Louis Vuitton ballgown to the 36th Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards, with her hair styled into a bun with short, swooping side bangs.
And this narrative was fueled at Sunday’s Golden Globes, when Ariana wore a pale yellow Givenchy gown circa 1966 to the ceremony, and once again showed off her distinctive new bangs.
Notably, Givenchy was Audrey’s fashion house of choice throughout her career, and from 1956, she even had a contract that stipulated she would be dressed by Givenchy in all contemporary-set movies.
However, Ariana has now explicitly shut down this speculation — and insisted that she has no idea where it has even stemmed from.
Ariana was asked a similar question in a separate interview with Access Hollywood that same night, forcing her to ask: “Oh my goodness, why is everyone asking me this?”
While there have been rumors of an Audrey biopic being in the works for many years, there hasn’t been any significant progress with it actually getting made.
Who do you think should play Audrey in a Hollywood biopic? Let me know in the comments!
