It was a tough decision to figure out which female celebrity would be the voice of “The Woman In Me.” A source told Page Six that the “Greatest Showman” actor was chosen for the role because, not only of his impressive body of work but his complicated family history that rivals that of the pop star.
The 41-year-old actress is not only Britney’s age, but she’s also a five-time Oscar nominee, two-time Golden Globe winner, and Tony Award nominee. She is also a mother of two children. She shared a child with the late actor Heath Ledger before his sudden death.

Britney also has a difficult relationship with her father, Jamie Spears. The 71-year-old businessman served as Britney’s conservator, meaning he had full control over her financial and personal affairs from 2008 to 2021. The conservatorship also strained Britney’s relationship with her mother, Lynne Spears, and her sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, as well.
