A rep for the pop star calls “Daily Mirror” report “100 p.c false.”
A consultant for Bruno Mars says a report claiming he’ll painting Prince in a brand new film is “100 percent false.”
The Daily Mirror, a British tabloid, printed a narrative over the weekend saying that Mars was “being lined up to play Prince” in a biopic to air on Netflix. The story was picked up by a number of on-line websites and was circulating broadly.
But Mars’ consultant says the story shouldn’t be true and Netflix says there’s no movie in growth.
Paul Cockerton, on-line deputy digital editor, mentioned in an electronic mail to The Associated Press that the paper was reaching out to the reporter on the story to see if it wanted to be corrected or clarified and checking with Netflix and Mars for an official assertion.
Prince died at age 57 in 2016.
Mars carried out a show-stopping, memorable tribute to Prince on the 2017 Grammy Awards when he sang “Let’s Go Crazy.”
