While her life is certainly something that many idolize, one thing we haven't seen of Nicks is a biopic. Biopics are typically movies made that tell the life story of a historical or influential figure. Yet a biopic of her life is something that Nicks herself has said is unlikely to ever happen.
Nicks is the only female musician who has been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice, once with Fleetwood Mac in 1998 and again as a solo artist in 2019.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.
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.
Stevie Nicks said Lindsay Lohan will never play her unless she ‘cleans up her life’
Unfortunately for Lohan, Nicks does not seem to return her admiration. Although she doesn’t dislike the actor, Nicks thinks Lohan has some work to do before she could have the role.
In an interview with CNN, Nicks was asked what she thinks about the Mean Girls star portraying her. “She’s never going to,” Nicks said (via HuffPost). “That’s never going to happen unless she cleans up her life and becomes the great actress I feel she can be. Everybody thinks I hate her, and it’s not that at all.”
In a new interview, Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks has discussed whether she'd ever consider a film being made about her life – and explores the idea of writing an autobiography. (loudersound)
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."
"Maybe I’ll write a really fun book. What I wouldn't put in it, I would very gracefully go over the drugs, because I don't feel that they defined my life. I managed to save myself.
"I got through some pretty scary moments, but I saved me, nobody else saved me. I survived me. I survived my cocaine. I survived by myself. I checked myself into rehab. Nobody did that for me. I did it and that's like with my whole life. So, I would dance over those parts just to give the wisdom out to people, but mostly, I would just tell all of these really fun, funny stories that I've been telling you, because those things I would love to share.
