Dua Lipa has become one of the most relevant music stars internationally. Although he managed to carve out a small niche in the industry with his first album, he finally consolidated himself with the release of his second, Future Nostalgia. And her songs have gone around the world, in the same way that she does with her travels.
It was during his visit to Madrid this weekend that alarm bells were raised about his possible participation in Pedro Almodóvar's new film. It all started with the publication of an image in which the director appears with the singer in a restaurant in the capital. A photograph in which they share space with Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore.
This union has put on the table a possible appearance by Dua Lipa in the film The Room Next Door, which is currently filming. Something that would turn the Houdini artist into the new 'Almodóvar girl'.
And if this is being speculated, it is, above all, because of the passion that the singer feels for all of the director's work. So much so, that it is not the first time that she has traveled to the Spanish capital to meet him. In 2023, rumors have already emerged about this possible professional union.
But if there is something that was surprising, it is knowing that the British-Albanian was the inspiration for one of the scenes in Parallel Mothers. "There's a sequence where Penélope Cruz is at a photo shoot and she's taking pictures of a transsexual woman, who says, 'this is the first time a women's magazine has given me a cover.' And one of the poses that I "I asked him for the one you did for the Pepe Jeans campaign (October 2020)," said the director.
Something to which she could do nothing but react with disbelief: "I can't believe what you're telling me." And it is not the first time that Dua Lipa talks about the desire she feels to appear in one of her films.
This possible and expected cameo would not be the first time that the singer appears in a film. The star made her film debut in the film Barbie, starring Margot Robbie, in which Dua plays one of the mermaids she appears in, called 'Mermaid Barbie'.
And, in turn, it would not be the first time that Pedro Almodóvar includes a singer in one of his films. In Pain and glory, from 2019, he did not hesitate to call Rosalía to appear in a scene with Penélope Cruz. Now, we will just have to wait for the rumor about Dua Lipa to be confirmed or denied.
