Rihanna, the celebrated singer and business entrepreneur, is already pondering who might best represent her in a potential biopic. At the recent launch of her Fenty Hair products, captured on the red carpet, Rihanna mentioned her choice for the role would be actress Taylor Russell, highlighting a unique yet endearing trait. “You know why? Because she’s got, like, a nice forehead,” Rihanna commented playfully, appreciating the Canadian actress’s distinct features. Beyond her physical appearance, Rihanna admired Russell’s overall vibe: “She’s, like, fly. And I feel like I want to be her, so I want her to pretend to be me. I want people to see me in that light.”
Taylor Russell, known for her roles in the A24 film “Waves” and “Bones and All,” has not yet made any public remarks about the idea of portraying the Barbadian icon. Rihanna‘s support not only boosts Russell’s profile in the industry but also speaks to her ability to embody such a vibrant and influential figure.
Speculation about a biopic was fueled when Rihanna was seen wearing a shirt that read “I’m Retired,” which led to widespread conjecture about her career intentions. Rihanna quickly cleared up the misunderstanding in an interview with Extra, noting the laid-back reason behind her choice of clothing. “That was just me looking into the future. I’m not retired. I just like that dress. I got it as a gift and I loved it,” she explained, noting that the message was more about her retreating from high-fashion demands rather than stepping away from her career.
Additionally, Rihanna provided updates on her musical endeavors in a conversation with Entertainment Tonight, stating she’s rethinking her approach to music. “Yeah, I’m starting over,” she declared, highlighting her plan to revisit her existing tracks to see which ones still resonate with her current artistic vision. “But I don’t want to neglect the songs that I have, so I actually want to go back and listen to stuff with new ears, with my new perspective and then see what applies and what I’m still in love with.”
Rihanna’s methodical strategy for her upcoming album, informally referred to as R9 by her fans, demonstrates her dedication to creating music that mirrors her evolving style and life experiences. Her careful curation of her next musical chapter ensures that it will closely match her contemporary artistic expressions.
As Rihanna continues to impact the entertainment and beauty sectors, her followers eagerly anticipate further news on her musical progress and the potential film depiction of her story. Her proactive choice of Taylor Russell for the possible biopic role establishes an intriguing example, highlighting Rihanna’s role in shaping her own legacy through her music, business achievements, and possible cinematic endeavors.
