Selena Gomez is set to portray Linda Ronstadt in an upcoming biopic, with the personal approval of the music legend herself, according to sources. This news surfaced after Gomez posted a photo of herself reading Linda’s 2013 memoir, ‘Simple Dreams’, sparking speculation about a potential collaboration or a hint at a future acting role. However, it has been confirmed that Gomez has been chosen to play Linda in the early stages of the biopic’s development.
According to sources, this project is still in its initial phase, and details about other cast members and the involvement of a studio are uncertain at this point. However, it has been confirmed that Linda personally vouched for Gomez, expressing her satisfaction with the casting choice. Reportedly, Selena even had a private meeting with Linda at her home a few months ago.
The biopic will be closely overseen by Linda and her team and will be based on her book ‘Simple Dreams’, which has been optioned for the film. The news of Gomez’s involvement has generated significant excitement, particularly due to her physical resemblance to Linda and their shared Mexican heritage.
Additionally, the project has stirred interest due to the singing component, as Linda is known for her powerful vocals, while Gomez is an accomplished singer herself. Given these factors, there is anticipation for a remarkable portrayal in the biopic.
As Selena’s involvement suggests, the film is expected to attract considerable attention and possibly garner acclaim, akin to other successful biographical productions in recent years.
With the confirmed casting of Selena Gomez, the upcoming biopic is anticipated to be a high-profile production with significant potential for critical acclaim and recognition at prestigious awards ceremonies.
Efforts have been made to reach out to Selena’s representatives for further comments on this development.
