AUSSIE TWIN!
ARTIST BRITTANY MIGHT BE THE BEST DUCHESS DOUBLE YET!
Initially downloading social media app Tiktok simply to promote her art, Brittany Dixon never imagined it might possibly lead to an audition to play Kate Middleton in the final season of The Crown!
With her tousled brown locks and sweet smile, Brisbanebased Brittany caused quite a stir online when Tiktok viewers pointed out her striking similarity to the Duchess of Cambridge.
“Wow, the resemblance [to Kate] is amazing,” one viewer commented, while another added, “That’s so funny, you [and Kate] look like sisters.”
The whirlwind comes following reports that
The Crown casting agents are hunting for a “stunning” actress who can play a young Kate in the sixth season of the popular historical drama.
“I can’t believe how many views my video has gotten,” says Brittany, 24, flattered by the royal comparison.
“Kate has always been someone I admire, and I do believe we’re similar beyond looks too. Being an artist,
I was delighted to learn she had studied art history at uni.
“I also know, like me, she has a passion for nature and the outdoors, and is behind many great causes. I’m a firm believer in bringing what good I can to the world and creating positive change.”
Spurred on by the encouragement of hundreds of strangers, Brittany applied to The Crown’s open casting call. The show is seeking “an exceptional young actor” bearing a “strong physical resemblance” to an 18-year-old Kate.
“They just wanted a selfie, some general information, and a 30-second video of me talking about something I love,” says Brittany, who has acting experience after playing small roles in TV productions.
A huge fan of the Emmywinning drama, it would be a dream come true for Brittany if she gets the gig.
“I’m sure everyone else applying for this role would agree that … being even a small part of such a prestigious and beloved show is an honour and an incredible opportunity,” says Brittany.
“I know no matter what, they’ll find the perfect young Kate for Season 6.”
