Céline Dion was reportedly heartbroken after an actress turned down the opportunity to portray her in a biopic. This unexpected refusal left a significant impact on the singer. You will be shocked when you know who that actress was?
Celine Dion has been working on her own biopic for several years now. It is likely, like the recently released documentary, to focus on the struggle with the incurable neurological muscle stiffness syndrome and how the singer tried to work while suffering from the disease. For a long time, Angelina Jolie was a contender for the main role, that is, for the role of Celine herself, but unexpectedly the star of “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” refused to star in the biographical film, which broke Dion’s heart.
Life&Style writes that Celine still hopes and believes that Angie will change her mind, because she considers her the ideal candidate. Moreover, the artist is belligerent and ready to wait as long as it takes for Jolie to say yes to her. But, according to a source close to the actress, the whole point is not the increased busyness, but the lack of a decent script – without it, Brad Pitt’s ex-lover will not get down to business, even with great respect for the performer.
“Celine has a fully developed story based on her own memories and experiences, but I don’t see Angelina taking on anything without a top-notch, standout script that everyone on her team will love,” the source explained, stressing that Angie has plenty of offers, many of which seem more promising to her.
There were rumors that Celine Dion even harbored a grudge against Angelina Jolie for refusing to star in the biopic. But, probably, over time she did not find a more suitable actress and changed her anger to mercy.
