Margot Robbie is interested in playing Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks in a biopic.
The actor whose big break came with Martin Scorsese The Wolf of Wall Street recently promoted her latest movie alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, Babylon. Directed by La La Lands Damien Chazelle, the Movie is an epic comedy-drama that chronicles the rise and fall of a cast of characters during Hollywood’s transition from silent to sound cinema.
Famous for roles in films like The Wolf Of Wall Street and I, Tonya, as well as the psychotic anti-hero Harley Quinn in DC’s superhero films, Robbie was speaking to NME in promotion of filmmaker Damien Chazelle’s Old Hollywood epic Babylon when asked about a potential music biopic.
“Stevie Nicks would be fun,” she said. “I think everyone has been trying to do a Janis Joplin [movie] for a long time too.”
Neither Nicks nor Fleetwood Mac have yet been immortalised in their own biopics, though it was rumoured in 2011 that Lindsay Lohan had signed up to play the singer. Nicks later denied the rumours.
Stevie Nicks to Lindsay Lohan to Play Her in a Biopic: ‘Over My Dead Body’
Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks explores the idea of a film being made about her life, and whether she'd ever consider writing an autobiography.
There have been rumors that Lohan wants to play Nicks in a biopic. But what does Nicks think of the Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen actor portraying her? Here’s what Nicks said and why.
“Over my dead body,” Nicks said. “She needs to stop doing drugs and get a grip. Then maybe we’ll talk.” (Unfortunally Stevie Nicks has been addicted on cocain for long time)
Actor Lindsay Lohan is allegedly gunning for the role of a younger Stevie Nicks. She has performed covers of Nicks’ song “Edge of Seventeen” live and posted them online. Lohan obviously venerates the rock star, which is probably why she wants to play her in a movie.

Speaking to Tim McGraw on the latest episode of Beyond The Influence Radio on Apple Music Country, Nicks contemplates various ways she could document her career and personal history, along with what parts of her story she would include.
The vocalist says she fears she'd be unable to examine her whole life in just one film, and that if she were to write a book, it would probably need to be some sort of multi-part series, similar to Stephenie Meyer's Twilight franchise.
She explains: "It would be such a long movie. You know what I mean? That would be the problem, because what I just told you, I have like thousands of more hours that I could tell you stories that would just make you laugh so hard."
In the same interview, Robbie’s co-star Diego Calva pitched another rock flick: “Can you imagine a biopic of Frank Zappa? I don’t know if I’m the guy but that would be a cool movie. I’d have to grow the ‘tache.”
