‘ROUND THE WAY: ARETHA FRANKLIN CONFIRMS HALLE BERRY IS PLAYING HER IN BIOPIC

Aretha Franklin confirmed that actress Halle Berry has been selected to portray her in an upcoming biopic about her life. The legendary singer broke the news during an on-air interview with The Wendy Williams Show on Wednesday (January 12).

“For the last four years we’ve been talking about that (biopic) and I have had a number of offers but unfortunately they were not good offers,” Franklin told Williams. “Now, we have something on the table — all of the financing on one project. And the second project is in the process (writing things for me to approve) on the telefilm.”

Probed for an answer as to what actress will be portraying her, Franklin told Williams “Halle Berry is….,” going on to say a younger actress (presumably to portray her childhood/teenage years) “has yet to be named”.

Stating that her health was “superb” she also spoke on her love for R. Kelly and more. Check out the full interview with Aretha & Wendy below.
