Music icon Cher has been approached to star in a new Hollywood film dramatising the life of beauty brand owner Ole Henriksen, who is thought to be worth $50 million
Music icon Cher could be returning to the silver screen for an upcoming Hollywood film, but she won’t come cheap, says Hollywood producer Niels Juul. The producer, who has worked with the likes of Martin Scorsese, is currently working on a movie about the life of skincare brand owner Ole Henriksen.
And talking during the NoFatEgo x Ole Henrikson Glow Party at Cannes Film Festival, the director said they have approached Cher to star in the new movie – admitting that it will be an expensive hire if she agrees.
“I said to Ole, you can have two celebrities in it, that’s all we can afford,” said Neils at the party, which was on a yacht at the Cannes port, before continuing that he ‘wouldn’t name’ who might appear in the production.
“She’s a gay icon. She would make my life if she says yes to it, OK fine, it’s Cher. But she might not say yes,” he admitted.
Throughout her career, Cher – who Ole often gives facials to – has been in around 20 movies, including Zookeeper and Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again.
And she may not be the only familiar face in the new movie, with Ole a go-to for several celebrities when it comes to skincare, including Barbara Streisand and the late David Bowie.
Reeling off the brand owner’s famous friends, Neils continued, “Ole is someone who has hung around with Madonna and everyone like that.”
Talking of the movie itself, Ole chimed in that it will be an ‘uplifiting story’ about the ‘inner glow’ of his life, which has seen him creating beauty products in his kitchen to becoming a best selling brand.
With the boat in full swing learning about the new project and champagne flowing, crowds began gathering at the port beside us.
But they weren’t all trying to catch info about Ole’s new movie, rather a picture of Hollywood actor Tom Cruise, who was making his Cannes debut and walking into the nearby Palais ahead of his Mission Impossible – The Final Reckoning premiere that evening.
He was joined by co-stars such as Hannah Waddingham and Tramell Tillman, who all later stormed the red carpet.
Waving to the crowds, Tom was dressed in a burgundy co-ord as he posed for pictures with his co-stars before heading to the roof for the movie’s photocall. Just a casual Wednesday morning on the Cannes port…
