TV shows these days are all about famous people, crimes, and cults. And the freshly minted docuseries, The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard effortlessly hit the bullseye with the first two. Blanchard, once the media’s sweetheart and the leading lady of Hulu’s 2019 miniseries, The Act, has also transformed into a TikTok sensation with her upcoming memoir. The public’s obsession with Blanchard, the young woman from Louisiana with a high voice, knows no bounds currently. This makes it the ideal moment to cook up a movie about her life.

Interestingly, Blanchard herself has already cherry-picked an actress whom she believes can nail it in portraying her character.

Who does Gypsy Rose Blanchard fancy for the role in her biopic? 

Gypsy Rose Blanchard recently sat for an interview with Access Hollywood where she was asked about her preferred choice for the actress to portray her in a biopic. The 32-year-old revealed that she has always envisioned Millie Bobby Brown playing her. Brown, a rising star making waves in Hollywood, especially with her role as Eleven in the widely acclaimed Netflix series Stranger Things, has already made a mark in the industry. 

Joey King aced her role in the 2019 drama The Act, portraying Blanchard, and even got a thumbs up from Blanchard herself in the recent interview. However, casting a heavyweight like Millie Bobby Brown, who not only wears multiple hats as an actress and businesswoman but is also testing the waters in movie production, would be a solid and profitable choice. But it is not just Gypsy Rose Blanchard who has her heart set on Millie Bobby Brown playing her in the biopic. 

The singer Halsey also hoped Millie Bobby Brown would consider playing her in a biopic. However, she was a little apprehensive about whether the actress will take up the role because of one reason. 

Blanchard is second in line to get Millie Bobby Brown for a biopic 

Millie Bobby Brown has been a recurrent subject of comparisons to various actresses over the years, with many fan-casting her as the perfect fit to bring their stories to life in biopics. This star-studded list includes Audrey Hepburn, Natalie Portman, and Larisa Oleynik. Halsey also jumped on the bandwagon during an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon by expressing her wish for Millie Bobby Brown to take the lead in her biopic.

She humbly acknowledged not feeling “famous enough” for someone of Brown’s stature to feature in her biopic. Fallon cleverly dug up a snapshot of Halsey dressed as Eleven from Stranger Things, and they found the similarities uncanny. While Brown is undoubtedly a sought-after choice for biopics, the Enola Holmes actress revealed her wish to portray Britney Spears as she connected deeply with her story. Now, whether Brown resonates with Blanchard’s journey as well will be the deciding factor in the potential participation in her biopic.
