‘Who’s gonna dance? Who’s gonna sing?’: Fans react hilariously to Selena Gomez being Britney Spears’ top choice for her biopic

Rumor has it that Selena Gomez is a top contender to play Britney Spears in an upcoming biopic directed by Jon M. Chu. The year has just started, and we already have a plot twist.

No one knows how to react to this news, it's like your childhood crush is playing your childhood idol on screen. No one understands whether to be nervous for Selena or excited for Brtiney.

Besides her lack of facial resemblance, many factors made fans question this choice. Anyone playing Britney Spears should be able to dance, if not sing. It's no secret that Britney's life has been full of drama and chaos. It needs to be portrayed convincingly.

It's not just about dyeing her hair blonde and putting on the schoolgirl outfit, anyone playing her should be able to portray her ups and downs correctly on screen.

Fans have had similar concerns and have voiced them loudly on the internet. This is not just any biopic; it's about the Princess of Pop, Britney Spears. You cannot just cast any famous person for the role, the director needs to consider that Selena should rock the bald look on screen.
