Ariana Grande jokes she wants "a tiny mouse" to play her in hypothetical biopic

Ariana Grande humorously suggests the only biopic she'd want stars a "tiny mouse with subtitles," while reflecting on closing her Wicked chapter.

"A tiny mouse with subtitles the whole time. I would like that, actually. - Ariana Grande"

Los Angeles, February 11

Singer and actress Ariana Grande has shared a humorous take on the idea of a biopic about her life, saying she would only be interested if a "tiny mouse" played her on screen, according to E! News.

Speaking to Backstage in a video posted on Instagram, the 32-year-old Wicked star dismissed the idea of a traditional biographical film about her life and career, according to E! News.

While joking that such a movie should be titled "Scrap This and Don't Watch It," Grande suggested a more imaginative alternative.

"A tiny mouse with subtitles the whole time," she said. "I would like that, actually."

Elaborating on her playful concept, the "7 Rings" singer added, "It would be a tiny, beautiful short film with mice reenacting my whole life with little, tiny subtitles at the bottom. That's the only version of it that I'm interested in," according to E! News.

Though she is not keen on a biopic at present, Grande reflected on a major chapter of her career coming to a close following her role as Glinda in Wicked.

"It feels like a beautiful time to put it in a beautiful book on the shelf next to the other L. Frank Baum books that I collect," she said. "It does feel like the right time to turn the page and to thankfully and proudly, gratefully let go."

Grande noted that before Wicked, she had not acted in nearly a decade, as her pop music career had taken centre stage.

"My pop music career, which I am so endlessly grateful for, had taken on a life of its own, a life that I don't know I could have predicted or planned for," she said, according to E! News.

The former Nickelodeon star explained that being widely known as a pop singer made landing the role of Glinda more challenging.

"I had to do a lot of deconstructing to convince a lot of people that I could disappear into her," she said.

Looking back, Grande expressed gratitude and wonder at the journey. "I know I did the work so that they could," she said of audiences embracing her performance, "but I still feel as curious and inspired as...the first day I got here," according to E! News.

Honestly, a mouse biopic sounds more interesting than another formulaic celebrity film. At least it would be unique! Good on her for wanting to do something different.

I respect her humility, but I think her actual life story—from Nickelodeon to global pop star to *Wicked*—is inspiring enough for a proper film. The mouse thing is a fun joke, but her fans would love to see her journey portrayed seriously too.

It's refreshing to see a celebrity not immediately jumping on the biopic bandwagon. The industry is saturated with them. Her comment about "deconstructing" her pop image for Glinda is the real story here—that takes guts.

Haha, only in Hollywood! But seriously, good for her for wanting to close the *Wicked* chapter and move on. It's important to know when to turn the page, as she said. Wishing her the best for whatever is next.

The mouse idea is hilarious and actually very artistic. It reminds me of some of the more imaginative, short-format storytelling we see online. Maybe she's onto something—a quirky animated short film could be perfect.
