Debi Mazaris just as curious about Madonna’s upcoming biopic as the superstar’s eager fans.
“My phone has literally blown up this past week after it was announced that @juliafox took a meeting with @madonna for her film. The press is asking me to verify rumors, and paparazzi are literally DM-ing me to ask to photograph me so they can submit comparisons of Julia and I,” she wrote on Instagram Wednesday. “The one who looks exactly like me is my 19 year olddaughter Evelina, but she is not an accomplished actress…YET….”
“I find it all quite amusing, but what I find most interesting is that someone will be playing ME! It’s surreal!” continued Mazar. “I have NO idea how the script reads or who Madonna has in mind. We have been friends for so dam [sic] long, I’m curious! It sure has been a journey.”
Mazar added that Madonna, 63, has “an epic story to tell.”
“Our friendship is most precious to me and Madonna is a great visionary. I can’t wait to see what she does!” she said, adding of Fox, “I’ve never met @juliafox in person. I interviewed her once. I think she is gorgeous, smart and a very talented actress! Funny enough, she reminds me more of Madonna when we were young [than] of myself! I’d obviously be flattered.”
