    Margot Robbie is "beyond honoured" Kylie Minogue wants her to play her in a biopic

    The 35-year-old actress was taken aback after learning that the 57-year-old pop superstar has personally named her fellow Australian Margot as a leading candidate to bring her to life on the big screen


    However, Margot is adamant she shouldn't be the top choice for the role of Kylie as she "can't sing".

    During an appearance on the BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show, presenter Scott Mills told The Wolf of Wall Street star: " You know Kylie has said a few times that she would love you to play her in a movie."

    To which Margot replied: " She did not?! Why has nobody ever told me this before?! That is wild information!"

    When asked whether she would play the Padam Padam hitmaker in a film, Margot said: "I am beyond honoured. Of course I could not, I can't sing, I can't sing like Kylie.

    "I don't like it when people can't actually sing and do a singing movie, you know..."

    Margot then revealed she has been a huge fan of Kylie for years, with her first ever concert being the KylieFever tour in Sydney, Australia in 2002.

    Margot can next be seen in the upcoming movie A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, in which she stars opposite Colin Farrell as Sarah, a woman who meets Colin's alter ego David at a mutual friend's wedding.

    After their chance meeting, the strangers embark on a magical-journey through unexpected doorways that allow them to relive pivotal moments from their pasts - moments that shaped who they've become - and possibly change what their futures hold.

    Reflecting on the film, Robbie teased she was "positively gleeful" watching her co-star sing and dance on set.

    The Barbie actress told USA Today: "It was so fun! I was positively gleeful watching Colin do his little jazz hands and jazz feet. It was great."

    Despite playing a lifelong musical theatre fan in the movie, Robbie admitted she was quite different to her on-screen character Sarah because she can't sing.

    She said: "I don't have a singing voice, as you know from anything you've seen me singing.

    "Growing up, I didn't get to be in the musicals, which is devastating. But like Sarah in this movie, I'm a musical groupie.

    "I would sit there and watch all of the school musicals and just be like, 'God, I wish I could sing.' But I did the plays instead."
