Actress shares major update on Madonna biopic after having to ‘convince' star
Julia Garner has revealed the Madonna biopic, in which she will play the music icon, is still in the works. She also reassured fans about the delay, saying that 'anything that's great…takes a long time'. The Ozark actress was reportedly cast as the Material Girl hitmaker in 2022 but months later, the project was placed on hold, and its fate has been up in the air ever since. However, Julia said in a new interview on Monday that it is 'supposed to still happen'. The Fantastic Four: First Steps star had been a fan of Madonna when she was growing up so knew she had to audition as soon as she heard the project was in the pipeline. She told the SmartLess podcast of her initial involvement with the biopic: 'It just came about… like I knew that they were doing a project, making a movie about it, and then I went out to audition. I kind of just wanted to see if I could do it.' The 31-year-old actress has no dance training, so she had to learn how to move and then show off her skills in front of Madonna herself – as well as sing with her – and 'convince' the 66-year-old that she could do both. Naturally, a very daunting situation – but the Inventing Anna star decided to channel the Vogue hitmaker during the nerve-wracking process. Explaining that she asked herself what Madonna would do, she added: 'Which is like convince you that she deserves to be in this room. And I owned it. I was like, 'You can take it or leave it, but if you leave it, if I leave, then that's on you.'' In July last year, Madonna revealed she was working on a new draft script for the biopic, which is expected to be titled Who's That Girl in a nod to the singer's 1987 movie and song of the same name. She will also be directing the movie. Madonna took to Instagram and posted a collection of photos of herself working on the script with the caption: 'I Need A-lot of Bandz to make this ……….. OKAY. (Story of my life) [sic].' The film was announced in 2020, and Oscar-winning Juno scribe Diablo Cody and Snow White's Erin Cressida Wilson were brought on to help the Like A Virgin hitmaker with the script and screenplay. However, in January 2023, it was revealed the film had been paused indefinitely at Universal Pictures. After the movie was shelved, Madonna went on her Celebration Tour in October 2023 to mark four decades in the music industry, but reportedly resumed work on the project once she got back home in June in the hopes she could finalise the script with Universal. An industry insider previously told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: 'Madonna has only just finished her tour but in her mind it is on to the next project and fulfilling her dream of getting the biopic made. 'Julia is still her lead actress and they have remained in touch for the past year, talking through ideas. They are committed to creating some magic.' The duo had also hyped up fans by being photographed together at a celebrity party in May that year, chowing down on chips, while Julia also appeared onstage during the tour with Madonna in December 2023. The Papa Don't Preach chart-topper had explained she wanted to both direct and write the movie because she wanted complete control over the project. She told Variety: 'I've had an extraordinary life, I must make an extraordinary film. 'It was also a pre-emptive strike because a lot of people were trying to make movies about me. Mostly misogynistic men. 'So I put my foot in the door and said, 'No one's going to tell my story, but me.'' More Trending Madonna would be following a line of musical biopics produced in recent years, including Queen film Bohemian Rhapsody, Sir Elton John movie Rocketman and the underperforming Better Man, based on the life of Robbie Williams. Garner is currently in cinemas as the Silver Surfer opposite Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach in the MCU's reboot of The Fantastic Four. It's enjoyed a strong opening, raking in $218million (£163.3m) already, surpassing the summer's other superhero flack in DC Studio's Superman from director James Gunn. Got a story?

CLIMAXING IN 2 MINUTES Sabrina claimed that she can make her partner climax in just two minutes in a racy bonus track from the deluxe version of her Short n' Sweet album. In the song 15 Minutes, Sabrina says that she can get a lot done in the short time frame. "I can do a lot with 15 minutes // Only gonna take two to make you finish," she croons in the racy track. Read More about Sabrina FAMILY TIES Sabrina Carpenter fans only just realising she's a secret nepo-baby In the same song she also sings: "But I can do a lot with 15 minutes // Lot of pretty boys, lot of funny business." 'SUPER HORNY' Sabrina often confesses in her songs that she's "horny" - and she has done in interviews, too. In a chat with Rolling Stone last June, she said: "Those real moments where I'm just a 25-year-old girl who's super horny are as real as when I'm going through a heartbreak and I'm miserable and I don't feel like a person." In her hit Juno from her Short n' Sweet album, Sabrina sings about being horny on the track Juno. In the raunchy song, she croons: "Adore me // Hold me and explore me. "Mark your territory // Tell me I'm the only, only, only, only one. Sabrina Carpenter takes savage swipe at ex Barry Keoghan as she announces new single "Adore me // Hold me and explore me // I'm so f***in' horny. "Tell me I'm the only, only, only, only one." SABRINA'S SEX TIP Despite signing about wanting to get pregnant by her lover in Juno, when she croons lyrics like: "I might let you make me Juno" and "One of me is cute, but two though?" - Sabrina champions safe sex. Speaking to Cosmopolitan in March 2024, the hitmaker gave her safe sex tip when she said: "I mean, at the end of the day, my whole thing right now is, whatever you do, don't get pregnant. Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan relationship timeline Barry and Sabrina first sparked dating rumors in December 2023 They were first spotted having a dinner date at a restaurant in Los Angeles in December 2023. Since then, Sabrina and Barry have been repeatedly documented going on dates and nights together. In March 2024, Barry was seen cheering on Sabrina during her set when she opened for Taylor Swift's Eras Tour in Singapore. After her set, Sabrina was seen running off stage and into Barry's arms in the crowd. The two were also seen standing shoulder-to-shoulder when Taylor took to the stage. A month later, Barry was spotted supporting Sabrina once more during her Coachella set. "That's the way I'm living my life. So that's my sex tip. "Be smart. Use protection," she urged. A PENCHANT FOR BDSM It seems that Sabrina is a fan of BDSM and exploring kinks, with her referencing restraint in one of her songs. In Juno she sings: "Wanna try out my fuzzy pink handcuffs?". Handcuffs are typically used in sex along with bondage restraints. These tools are often used for sensual restraint play and can be used to limit movement during intimate activities. SEX POSITIONS GALORE Sabrina often shows off the various sex positions she seemingly enjoys. While on tour with her Short n' Sweet album, Sabrina simulated a different position on stage each night. In her song Juno (yes, that song again), she sings "Wanna try out some freaky positions? // Have you ever tried this one?". After singing "Have you ever tried this one?" Sabrina would run to the end of the stage, and get into a position. 7 Sabrina performed the 'Eiffel Tower' sex position while on stage in Paris Credit: supplied 7 She also sparked outrage with her BRITs performance earlier this year when she writhed on a bed Credit: Getty She got into the position of Reverse Cowgirl when performing in Columbus, Toronto, and Minneapolis. In Missouri, Nashville, Houston, and at Dublin Night 2, Sabrina did Cowgirl as she pretended to swing a lasso in the air. In November last year at her Inglewood show, Sabrina simulated giving oral sex to the microphone in a very racy Juno moment. But one of the most wild positions she simulated was during the Paris Night 2 show. While in Paris, the Espresso singer enlisted the help of two of her background dancers to demonstrate the Eiffel Tower sex position. NONSENSICAL SEX LYRICS Before the Juno positions arrived on stage, Sabrina was known for her outrageous outros for her song Nonsense from her Emails I Can't Sent album. The original outro goes: "Woke up this morning, thought I'd write a pop hit // How quickly can you take your clothes off? Pop quiz." While appearing on Saturday Night Live last May, Sabrina changed the intro to: "He is 30 rock hard 'cause I said 'hi' // My sense of humor is but I am not dry // SNL I just came for the first time." At Coachella last year, when she was dating Saltburn hunk Barry Keoghan, Sabrina changed the lyrics to leave him weak at the knees. "Made his knees so weak, had to spread mine // He's drinking my bathwater like it's red wine // Coachella, see you back here when I headline," she crooned in reference to a scene from Saltburn. And when in the UK and performing for BBC Radio One's Live Lounge, she crooned: "I'm American, I'm not British // So BBC stands for something different // This Live Lounge is so lit 'cause I'm in it." 7 Man's Best Friend, which is Sabrina's upcoming album, already sparked outrage because of the raunchy cover art Credit: instagram
