Michelle Williams is a five-time Oscar nominee. However for a lot of Britney Spears followers, the Fablemans actress deserves all of the awards on the planet for her dramatic work narrating the singer’s best-selling The Girl in Me memoir.
And to listen to Williams’ longtime good friend Busy Phillips inform it, taking the audiobook gig was a no brainer. “We misplaced it,” Imply Ladies co-star Philipps stated on Tuesday’s episode of Watch What Occurs Reside. “She was like, ‘I’ve to do that, proper?’ I used to be like, ‘Sure! Clearly!’ And she or he’s like, ‘I actually do, Biz.’ She actually felt a connection.” The 2 actresses have been shut since working collectively on Dawson’s Creek.
Phillips, 44, additional defined that she and Williams, 43, “got here up in a really specific time on this trade — that’s what the vast majority of my memoir [2018’s This Will Only Hurt a Little] is about — as younger ladies, and we had been subjected to lots. I feel that there was lots that was, sadly, very relatable to all ladies in Britney’s e book. However I believed that Michelle doing it was simply unimaginable and actually stunning. Britney deserves our respect.”
When host Andy Cohen vehemently agreed and stated the singer deserves some “peace and happiness” as properly, Phillips seconded that emotion, including, “sure, that’s what I want for her.”
Williams’ narration has earned widespread reward, with one part particularly — her recounting of an allegedly awkward early 2000s interplay between Spears’ then-boyfriend Justin Timberlake and “Pony” singer Ginuwine — gaining loads of consideration.
