Sam Asghari, the ex-husband of pop icon Britney Spears, has shared his thoughts on the upcoming biopic based on her tell-all memoir, "The Woman in Me." Speaking to Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet, Asghari expressed his hope that the film would receive Spears' approval and do justice to her legacy.
"I just hope that they have her approval on everything," Asghari said, acknowledging Spears' enduring influence. "And that they do justice by her legacy because it's a really strong one."
The statement comes amidst the ongoing public fallout from Asghari's divorce from Spears, following their marriage in 2022. Despite the split, Asghari's words suggest a desire for Spears' well-being and recognition of her significant achievements.
Asghari is currently focusing on his own career, which includes roles in upcoming projects such as the John Cena film "Jackpot." When asked who he thought should portray him in the biopic, Asghari sidestepped the query, stating that he's "focusing on my craft."
While fans eagerly await the release of "The Woman in Me" biopic, much remains unknown about the project. However, it is set to be directed by "Crazy Rich Asians" filmmaker Jon M. Chu and produced by Marc Platt. The film is expected to explore key moments from Spears' life, including her time with fellow pop star Justin Timberlake, a relationship that was detailed in "The Woman in Me."
The memoir provided a candid account of Spears' relationship with Timberlake, including her revelation that she was encouraged to have an abortion during their time together. The film is likely to explore these significant events, potentially featuring a prominent role for Timberlake.
Casting for the biopic remains a hot topic, with fans speculating on who might embody Spears and Timberlake on screen. The film's eventual release is expected to garner significant attention, particularly given the ongoing interest in Spears' life and career.
As the film enters the development stage, fans will be keeping a close eye on the casting process and the eventual release date.
