Meryl Streep reveals who she wants to play her in a biopic

And it's a question she's clearly put some very careful thought into before now

It's a question we all ask ourselves at some point in our lives: which A-lister would portray our undoubtedly thrilling and glamorous life onscreen in our inevitable biopic?

Sure, for the vast majority of us, it's only idle speculation; but when you're Meryl Streep, that's a question you might actually seriously need to start asking yourself at some point.

Which perhaps makes it fairly unsurprising that the Oscar-winning actress was able to answer The Huffington Post's breaching of the matter without a moment's hesitation; delivering a quick, "Amy Schumer, of course".

Schumer's not known for her impressions, so it's hard to tell whether she'd be able to land Streep's ever-melodious voice on camera; yet, with such golden comic timing, Schumer would certainly be a deft hand at recreating iconic moments from the likes of Death Becomes Her and The Devil Wears Prada.

Funnily enough, Schumer soon got wind of Streep's declaration; tweeting a shocked, "Holy s**t." Does that count as a yes, then?

Streep's latest film Florence Foster Jenkins finally got its US release last week; in which she brings to life Florence's bizarre life, as an heiress who once sold out New York's Carnegie Hall, even though she was utterly tone deaf.
