Shania Twain Reveals She Has 2 Actresses In Mind To Portray Her In A Biopic

Shania Twain revealed she has two actresses in mind to portray her in an upcoming biopic; however, she declined to name them publicly.

Twain, 60, recently caught up with PEOPLE about her life and career as she got ready to release Little Miss Twain, her seventh studio record. PEOPLE shared a clip of the interview on Instagram on Sunday (August 2). The interviewer asked Twain whether she had an actress or two in mind to play her in an upcoming biopic, and the singer-songwriter replied:

“So, I will say that I do have two actresses in mind, but I don’t want to say because I don’t want to jinx it. Like, what if they don’t want to do it? I’m going to have to be able to take that, you know, take that on the chin, right? What if they don’t want to do it, or they’re not available or — I don’t know. So, I don’t want to jinx it, and then put it out there and then it doesn’t happen. …But I do have two people in my mind. So when we speak again, I’ll be very honest and say whether it was one of those two ladies.”

Twain is sharing her life story in the upcoming, Leah McKendrick-directed biopic, Shania, Deadline confirmed in June. McKendrick said at the time, “long before I was making movies, I was shooting Shania music videos in my bedroom. This wild-hearted force of a woman means so much to me - and the world. It is a surreal dream come true to get to bring her trailblazing, gut-punching, awe-inspiring story to the screen (and ride horses and eat pasta in the process!) I am honored. I am humbled. I am READY. Let’s go, girls.” It was not clear as of publication time on Monday (August 3) when the biopic would premiere.
