This is who Cher thinks should be cast as her in biopic

Cher sat down with Mark Malkin for the latest episode of the Just for Variety podcast.

Next up for Cher is work on her memoir and the development of her biopic. Last month, she announced a day before her 75th birthday that the Universal Pictures film will be produced by Mamma Mia! producers Judy Craymer and Gary Goetzman, with Eric Roth writing the script. “I know the people so I’m sure they’ll…listen to things I have to say. But it doesn’t mean I’m going to get the final cut,” she says.

Casting hasn’t started yet, but Cher believes a newcomer should play her on the big screen. “We were talking about it yesterday, and we’re just trying to think of [actors],” she says. “I said, ‘I don’t think we know her yet.’”
