Miley Cyrus says she is considering playing godmother Dolly Parton in biopic of country icon
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Pop star Miley Cyrus joked about the ways she has emulated her legendary godmother Dolly Parton in a new interview. When the 30-year-old singer was asked about the possibility of playing Dolly in a biopic at some point in her life, the singer said she is "already doing it."
If Miley considered playing the country icon, it would not be too far a stretch, as Miley joked, "I'm sucked, I'm tucked and plucked, just like she taught me." She told E! News, "Me and Dolly have never really spoken, honestly, about me playing Dolly because I feel like I'm already doing it." The iconic singers Miley and Dolly share a great affection for each other and their work especially after Miley released the country star's hit single 'Joelene.'

While talking about the physical resemblance of Dolly, who is famous for her sizeable bust, Miley said, "'I don't know what they're gonna do to me." Miley and Dolly are set to co-host Miley's New Year's Eve Party live from Miami, welcoming sores of star-studded guests for a special to air on NBC. The duo even teamed up together for a T-mobile Super Bowl ad. In 2019 Dolly shared a few comforting words for Miley as she was going through a turbulent period in her relationship with her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth. After Miley's split from Hemsworth, she went on a whirlwind summer romance with Brody Jenner's ex Kaitlynn Carter before falling into the arms of her longtime friend Cody Simpson.
Dolly remarked to People, "Lord, I’ve done everything, and what I ain’t done, I intend to. She’s going to do that, too. But Miley’s smart; Miley knows what she’s doing." She added, "I know we think she doesn’t, and she might not every minute, but I still know that she’s got good stuff in her." Dolly shared that "I’ve told her some things that I think are valuable and that she uses, but I’d rather live an example and 'be an example rather than just try to tell somebody to do this, do that because I don’t think that’s right." The Here You Come Again singer added, "Everybody's different. You’ve got your own journey. And some people are going to help you along the way and they can kick a few rocks out of the road for you, but you got to walk it."
