Debbie Harry Reveals Who She'd Love to Play Her in Blondie Biopic: "I Would Be in Heaven"
Debbie Harry prefers Oscar-nominated Florence Pugh to portray her in a Blondie biopic amid a surge in music biopics, with no film currently in production.
- Debbie Harry named Florence Pugh, Oscar-nominated actress, as her top choice to play her in a biopic and said she `would be in heaven` at that casting, Harry told The Sunday Times.
- Produced by John Congleton, Blondie confirmed a new album will arrive around the last quarter of 2025, their first since drummer Clem Burke died, with Chris Stein sharing his memoir last year.
- Florence Pugh has already signalled interest in playing Debbie Harry, and Harry defended Kirsten Dunst’s 2007 casting link, saying a biopic could enhance appreciation of Blondie.
- No film is currently reported to be in the works, and Harry said earlier this year she can't see a future of live performances as Blondie; a biopic could draw on Chris Stein's Under A Rock and Harry's Face It: A Memoir .
- Music biopics are as popular as ever, recently honouring Dylan, Marley, Houston and Winehouse, while Blondie previously said they were working on 10-12 songs for a new LP.
