Cher
It is Cher in the ultimate role of her career, playing herself in "Stuck On You." Extra" sat down with the superstar and co-director Bobby Farrelly, who told us all about playing the evil Cher. She says, "I like being funny. I thought that if I'm bad at this, at playing myself, it just can't get any worse than that."
Costars Greg Kinnear and Matt Damon say it is her persona that is larger than life. Damon says, "She is like the sun, she does kind of suck you into her orbit." Farrelly adds, "We love her as an actress, but we didn’t think she would do it."
Cher's career is still going strong; the Oscar winner is currently working on new projects for both TV and stage. But she believes that she made one big career mistake. Cher says that the one role she passed on that she really wishes she had grabbed was Thelma in "Thelma and Louise."
She may not be Thelma, but that won't stop this star of music, screen, and stage. Cher says, "I have so many dreams, I have so many things I want to do. You know what one of my dreams is? I've always wanted to sing old standards at Carnegie. I just don’t want to stop."
