Britney Spears says she's 'not dead' responding to Millie Bobby Brown playing her in a biopic

It doesn't sound like we'll be getting a Britney Spears biopic starring Millie Bobby Brown if the pop superstar has a say in the matter.

That's because the 'Oops!... I Did it Again' hitmaker has shared her reaction after the Stranger Things actor said she'd love to play Britney in a biopic, saying she connects with her rise to fame at a young age.

But the Princess of Pop has responded by reminding everyone she's 'not dead' in an Instagram post.

Starting with a reference to her parents, Jamie and Lynn Spears, the star wrote: "Good news, good news!!! Still breathing… it’s funny the same two people who gave me life are the same exact 2 people who took it away … but guess what!!! I’m alive and I’m breathing again !!! Yeah I know I’ve posted too much this week on Instagram… kinda fun though!!!"

She then wrote her thoughts on a potential film about her life: "Now that I’m breathing … I have time … it’s different!!! I like it!!! I hear about people wanting to do movies about my life… dude I’m not dead!!! Although it’s pretty f***ing clear they preferred me dead."

The stream of thoughts was accompanied with a picture of a door, which Britney addressed the meaning behind it in the last part of her post. She said: "… I guess my family is going to lock their doors now!!! Either way … I just want to say hi and share these fabulous doors!!! I did kinda post too much this week … I’m embarrassed !!!I get it … oh well !!! Have a good day!!!"

Millie appeared on a new episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, joining presenter Drew in the back of a taxi cab – or ‘Drewber’ - for an interview for her new film Enola Holmes 2.

Drew asked her guest what was on her ‘bucket list’ acting-wise, whether this was for her next project or at some point in the next 10 years.

“I want to play a real person," Millie replied, before naming Britney as her dream role.

“I think her story, first of all, resonates with me growing up in the public eye. Watching her videos, watching interviews of her when she was younger. Same thing with you.

“I see the scramble for words [in the interviews] and I don’t know her, but when I look at pictures of her, I feel like I could tell her story in the right way and hers only.”
