Emma Roberts Says Playing Britney Spears Would Be 'True Dream'

Emma Roberts is ready to embrace her “Toxic” side … saying she’s ready to jump in Britney Spears‘ shoes — and, she’s even practicing her songs in front of an audience.

The actress sat down for a wide-ranging interview with Cosmopolitan … and, the star talked Britney’s former personal assistant, Felicia Culotta, telling us Roberts would play the perfect Queen of Pop.

Emma says playing Britney would be a “true dream” … and, it’s certainly a rumor she hopes will come true.

In fact, Emma admits she’s a huge Britney fan … saying she locked herself in her room when her 2003 album “In the Zone” came out — swearing she wouldn’t let herself leave until she knew every song by heart.

Emma adds she’s actually practicing the songs in her day-to-day too … singing them for her son during bathtime in a classic “millennial parenting” move as she puts it.

Britney seems less sure about casting at this point … posting on her Instagram Story asking fans what they want to see in the upcoming film — so, obviously the movie’s still in earlier stages.

Of course, fans have been calling for a Britney Spears flick ever since her autobiography “The Woman in Me” came out last fall … with many wondering who might play Brit and some key people in her life, like Justin Timberlake.
