Emma Roberts says playing Britney Spears would be a ‘real dream’

Emma Roberts is ready to embrace her “toxic” side… and says she’s ready to jump in Britney Spears‘ shoes — and she even practices her songs in front of an audience.

The actress sat down for an extensive interview with Cosmopolitan …and the star spoke to Britney’s former personal assistant, Felicia Culotta, tell us Roberts would play the perfect Queen of Pop.

Emma says playing Britney would be a “true dream”… and she hopes the rumor comes true.

Emma admits she’s a huge Britney fan. She says she locked herself in her room when her album “In the Zone” came out in 2003, vowing not to leave until she knew every song by heart.

Emma adds that she also practices the songs daily, singing them to her son during bath time—a classic “millennial parenting” move, as she calls it.

Britney seems uncertain about casting at this point, posting a message on Instagram Story asking fans what they’d like to see in the upcoming film. So the film is still in its early stages.

Of course, fans have been asking for a Britney Spears movie ever since her autobiography “The Woman in Me” came out last fall… with many wondering who might play Britney and some of the key people in her life, such as Justin Timberlake.
