Pop icon Rihanna, renowned for her illustrious music career and successful ventures in fashion and beauty, has revealed her choice for the actress who would portray her in a biographical film. The 36-year-old superstar disclosed that Taylor Russell, known for her role alongside Timothee Chalamet in the 2022 film “Bones And All,” would be her top pick.

Rihanna’s decision comes as no surprise given Russell’s rising prominence in Hollywood. Besides her professional achievements, Russell has also made headlines for her high-profile relationship with singer Harry Styles. The couple dated for a little over a year following Styles’ breakup with actress and director Olivia Wilde.


Explaining her choice, Rihanna highlighted Russell’s unique attributes. “She got like a nice forehead and a ‘fly’ sense of style,” Rihanna shared in an interview with E! News. “I feel like I wanna be her so I want her to pretend to be me. I want people to see me in that light.”


Russell starred opposite Chalamet in “Bones And All,” a cannibal road movie directed by Luca Guadagnino, who previously helmed the critically acclaimed “Call Me By Your Name.” Although “Bones And All” was not a commercial success, it received positive reviews from critics, earning an 81% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

On a personal note, Russell and Styles’ relationship captured significant media attention. Their last public appearance together was in Tokyo, after which they reportedly decided to take some time apart. Russell has since continued to make notable public appearances, including a showstopping solo entrance at the Met Gala, wearing a Jonathan Anderson creation featuring a wooden corset with a trompe l’oeil floral motif.


Meanwhile, Rihanna continues to thrive both professionally and personally. She and her partner, rapper A$AP Rocky, are parents to two sons: RZA, who is two years old, and Riot Rose, who will turn one in August. Despite the demands of motherhood, Rihanna remains active in her career, recently launching her new Fenty Hair line in Los Angeles.

The singer has also expressed her aspirations to expand her family. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, she mentioned her openness to having more children, particularly hoping for a daughter. “I would definitely have more kids,” Rihanna said. “It makes me feel really cool to be a boy mom, but I embrace all the epic things about being a woman and female.”

Rihanna’s choice of Taylor Russell to portray her in a potential biopic underscores her appreciation for the actress’s talent and personal style. As fans eagerly await any further developments on this project, they continue to support and celebrate Rihanna’s multifaceted career and her journey as a mother and entrepreneur.

The original announcement about Rihanna’s casting choice was published on Total Pro Sports, sparking widespread interest and excitement among her fans and followers. Whether or not this biographical film comes to fruition, Rihanna’s influence and legacy in the entertainment industry remain undeniable.
