Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown says she would love to play pop star Britney Spears in a biopic.

In a new interview, Millie Bobby Brown says Britney's story "resonates" with her.

Speaking on The Drew Barrymore Show on Monday, Drew asked if there was anything on her career “bucket list”.

Brown replied: “I want to play a real person and I think for me, Britney."

She added: “[It] would be Britney Spears. I think her story, first of all, resonates with me. Just growing up in the public eye watching her videos, watching interviews of how when she was younger.

“I mean, same thing with you [Barrymore]. I see the scramble for words [in her 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.”

Millie found fame at a young age thanks to her role as Eleven in the smash hit series Stranger Things.

She was appearing to promote her latest film, Enola Holmes 2.

Upon hearing the news that Brown wants to play her, Britney shared a post.

“I hear about people wanting to do movies about my life … dude I’m not dead !!!” Spears wrote.

It doesn't seem like Millie will get her dream role soon.

She previously said she would love to play Halsey in a film too.
