Julia Garner

JULIA GARNER IS THE MATERIAL GIRL

To no one’s surprise, Julia Garner (Ozark) has been cast to play Madonna in the Universal biopic of her life- and she was cast BY Madonna. It was no easy casting process. All actresses under consideration for the role were put through complex dance, acting, and singing sessions, often under Madonna’s watchful eye. (She IS directing the film) Garner was already a frontrunner because she resembles Madonna, but she had to prove she can sing and dance like her also. And you KNOW Madonna has high standards for herself. We can’t help but wonder which actors will be cast by Madonna to play her long list of boyfriends (Tony Ward, Dennis Rodman, Carlos Leon etc) – and will she FALL for one of them?

JULIA GARNER: HAS SHE GOT WHAT IT TAKES?

As we speak, Madonna is still tearing out her hair, trying to decide WHO will star as herself in her upcoming biopic Madame X. Her fans are favoring Ozark star Julia Garner, 28, because there IS more than a passing a resemblance. Although in real life Julia is soft-spoken, she’s capable of flashing some hard-boiled looks like the impatient young Madonna. Madonna herself has her eye on Little Women star UK actress Florence Pugh. Both actresses are taller than Madonna who is actually about 5’2.” (We have stood next to her.) Florence has the edge because she can sing and dance (watch her on youtube) and Madonna has been really fussy about that at auditions. Can you imagine how nerve-wracking it would be to audition for Madonna to play HER?
