Demi Moore is going to play Coco Chanel in an upcoming movie about the designer's life including her younger days when she did a stint as a singer (Coco was her stage name, she was born Gabrielle). She would have been a fantastic lounge act but we're thankful she sucked or lost interest and decided to be a designer instead. We love Demi, she is ultra cool because Ashton is super cute. But will she do the legend justice? If her acting is still as rusty as it was in Charlie's Angel: Full Throttle, she will have to rely on the fact that she is a little mannish and can look spot on in Coco's signature suits. That is, if she can figure out how to handle wearing clothes in a movie.
NO NO NO. Demi as Coco? That's like asking Madonna to play Grace Kelly. That would ruin Chanel for me FOREVER. First of all, she elicits images of strippers and butch dykes (remember GI Jane?). Second of all, she can't act. She has a super hot bod and a cute hubby but that is not enough to play the legendary
Coco!!!!!!!!!!!! I say wait a few years for Natalie Portman to mature and she can play Coco.
I find it interesting that the producers of a film about Coco Chanel would not cast a French actress as the famous Paris designer.
Sophie Marceau would be a wonderful choice for the part. Anne Parillard is another actress that could handle and excell in the part of Mlle Chanel.
Hello Kelly and Visual Ray,
Once again, your wisdom has enlightened us. What a great idea! And what about Vanessa Paradis? I find her pouty petulance to be similar to that of Coco and as the former face of Chanel in Europe, she only wears Chanel. Great seeing you the other day, now can you please start carrying clothes in my size? I know American women are getting fatter but please, there are still petite woman like moi ;)
kisses.
Sadly, I'm sure they are trying to cast an internationally known actress as Chanel to draw audiences. I'm an American, but not sure Demi will do Mlle Chanel justice. We shall see. Maybe we will be pleasantly suprised.
your so hot in this picture
