Naomi Campbell is ready to take her life to the big screen.
The iconic supermodel, 52, revealed she wants a rising star to play her in a biopic about her life and career.
“I would like it to be someone, who is unknown and preferably someone from South London,” she told Daily Mail.
“I’ve had my success, and I want to see the success of the next generation.”
While the model has kept tight-lipped about the specifics of the potential project, there certainly is enough material from Campbell’s glittering career to go by.
The British star has cemented her name as one of the most prominent and in-demand models of the past four decades.
Having led runways for the top luxury fashion brands in the world, Campbell also appeared on the cover of countless fashion magazines for years on end.

Back when she was kickstarting her modeling career, Campbell battled substance abuse and addiction, which eventually landed her in rehab in 1999.
She has never shied away from talking about her past addiction, saying in 2017, “I was never ashamed of substance abuse. I never took a break. I finally said, ‘I want to go away and I chose to make the phone call to go to rehab.'”
She managed to regain control of her career and went on to become the runway icon she is today.
However, the model last year opened up about the big sacrifice it took for her career to go all the way.

“It’s really like you feel if they look at you as if you’re strong, you know, I’m strong, but I’m also sensitive. I know that in relationships I have to compromise.”
While she didn’t settle down with a long-term romantic partner, Campbell did welcome her first child last year.
The model revealed the exciting news of her daughter’s birth on Instagram, writing, “A beautiful little blessing has chosen me to be her mother. So honored to have this gentle soul in my life there are no words to describe the lifelong bond that I now share with you, my angel. There is no greater love.”
