Jessica Biel Wanted To Be Whitney Houston

Jessica Biel Wanted To Be Whitney Houston

Hey! We all had crazy dreams when we were little! I wanted to be a mermaid when I grew up...Jessica Biel wanted to be Whitney Houston. :)

She talked to NY Magazine about her singing abilities in the movie 'Easy Virtue.'

On singing a version of 'Mad About the Boy' over the credits and on the movie’s soundtrack:

They were moving forward with [Ben Barnes doing it], but found out by looking into Coward's will and things that he wrote about his music that he said no man could ever record that song again. I guess he was in love with somebody and that was it — no man was going to record that again, so you can only find women singing and recording it. So it was very random. I hadn't planned on it, and it was such a treat to get to do that because — and I know no one really knows this about me — I really started in musical theater, with Annie and The Sound of Music. I mean, I wanted to be Whitney Houston, that was my dream.

Jessica also added that she isn't afraid of a daredevil stunt or two!

On her doing her character’s activity in the film (from riding motorcycles to some wild dances) and doing her own stunts:


That wasn't me on the motorcycle, unfortunately. I love doing my own stunts, and I always request to do it, but the insurance wouldn't allow it. As far as the dancing, the cancan is so hard, it's a really aerobic, relentless dance. The knees are up to here [indicates chest], and with the abs, it's pretty serious. It was really fun, though.
