According to Deadline, Billie Eilish is in advanced talks to star in Sarah Polley's adaptation of 'The Bell Jar,' the only novel written by American poet Sylvia Plath.

The 10-time Grammy winner and two-time Oscar-winning songwriter made her on-screen debut in 2023 in the TV series 'Swarm,' but this would mark her first big-screen role.

Celebrities are often known for doing one thing, whether it's singing, acting, or making some seriously scandalous decisions, but many are secretly capable of much more. Of course, not all musicians who venture on screen achieve fame, and some indeed find shame, but it takes courage to try something new under the careful eye of critics who are poised to tell them not to quit their day job!
