I know she\u2019s killed it in Evita.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re still working on the green light because we\u2019re figuring out where to do it, how to do it. This has been in the works for quite a few years now. And that\u2019s how it is.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou work, you work, you work, and then all of a sudden, boom, the trigger\u2019s pulled and you\u2019ve got to do it right away. But she\u2019s lovely.<\/p>\n<p>\n \u201cI think she would [accept]. I just need to offer her an actual part. So we need to be greenlit completely and we\u2019re almost there.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI met her by Zoom. She\u2019s got a beautiful singing voice and she\u2019s a great actor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nGloria also revealed she is keen to perform on Glastonbury\u2019s Pyramid stage after her musician daughter Emily played the festival with Cyndi Lauper last year.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: \u201cIt\u2019s very exciting, big and complex from what I hear from Emily. Like, it was crazy. But that would be super exciting.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cIf I\u2019m still around, I\u2019d love to do that. Now, Glastonbury likes all kinds of artists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/gloria-estefan-wants-rachel-zegler-play-biopic-1431593.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>18 October 2025 Gloria Estefan has confirmed that Rachel Zegler will play her in a new biopic.
