Evan Rachel Wood Playing Madonna In Weird Al Biopic
Hollywood is currently busy auditioning up-and-coming stars like Sydney Sweeney and Julia Garner for the upcoming Madonna biopic that the pop star is directing herself. Meanwhile over on the set of the “Weird Al” Yankovic biopic, which is currently in production, Evan Rachel Wood has already nabbed the role of Madonna. As Rolling Stone reports, Wood has joined the cast of the film, which stars Daniel Radcliffe as the comedy-rock icon. Yankovic famously parodied Madonna’s “Like A Virgin” in the ’80s as “Like A Surgeon,” with the real Madonna’s seal of approval.
