Mars offered chance to play Prince in Netflix biopic

Nicki and Cardi’s rap battle in NY

-

A film insider tells me the singer has been approached about portraying the legend in a Netflix project.

Bruno, 32, is a huge Prince fan and gave an impressive tribute to the star when he performed Purple Rain at the 2017 Grammys.

My film source reveals: “Bruno says it will probably be the most nerve-wracking move of his career if it happens.

“Prince was one of his idols so to be asked to take on a hefty role like that, especially as a debut acting move, is full-on. The offer has kind of come out of the blue. “He used to love acting when he was younger but it’s not an avenue he’s even been exploring recently. “If he does it there will be pressure.” Bruno considers Prince, who died of an accidental fentanyl overdose in April 2016, one of his music icons. He has said: “Prince, you’re one of my heroes and no one can tell me otherwise, not even you. “I’m so fortunate to have witnessed your greatness. Your music will live on forever and ever and will always have a special There is definitely no love lost between rappers and who came close to full-scale fisticuffs in New York on Friday night. Cardi, 25, suffered a facial injury after lunging at Minaj, 35, at the Harper’s Bazaar Icons party. I’m told Cardi screamed: “I will f*** you up!” Cardi later made a scathing Instagram post called “PERIOD”, suggesting Nicki had tried to sabotage her career and spoken about her daughter, Kulture Kiari. NYPD are deciding whether to press charges... Nicki’s wild gown. Left, Cardi in red and, top, leaving place in my heart. Thank You.” Speaking about meeting the star, Bruno gushed: “Prince comes walking through the crowd, it was like the Red Sea parting – all of these big celebritie­s tightening up because… it’s him!

“Then he turns and looks at me and gives me the thumbs up, and I just started screaming like an idiot.”

I think Bruno would be the perfect choice to play such a genius. Bring. It. On. Queen star

isn’t a tech fan. The 71-year-old said: “Apple used to be fun. Now it’s no longer fun. “We are all held by the b **** . Because we are dependent on the systems, we no longer have choices.” Time for a new phone?
