Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown has broken her silence on the rumours that she might be appearing in a Britney Spears biopic.
Last month, fans began to speculate that the young actor might be in the running to play the legendary pop star after Brown underwent a blonde hair transformation.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight at the LA premiere of her new Netflix movie, The Electric State, Brown addressed the rumours, seemingly putting her name forward for the job.

She said: "Nothing would make me happier than being able to play such an iconic, beautiful person. I leave that to the gods."
Brown previously told Access Hollywood that she had ambitions to play Britney, saying she would "love nothing more than to be a part of her story", adding: "I would want someone to bring it to life in the most beautiful way, and I'd always be open to that."

"Excited to share with my fans that I've been working on a secret project with #MarcPlatt. He's always made my favorite movies … stay tuned," she said on social media.
It was later reported by Variety that Wicked director Jon M Chu was on board to direct the book adaptation alongside La La Land producer Marc Platt.
Elsewhere in the interview, Brown opened up about her decision to go blonde after being asked if she dyed her hair for The Electric State.
"Well I went blonde for the filming of it," she said. "And then I went back to my brunette and then the press tour was coming up and I wanted people to just feel like they're watching the same character on the red carpet."
The Electric State is released on Netflix on March 14, 2025.
