See ya later! Kylie waves goodbye to the idea that someone would play her in a film about her life

Kylie Minogue has revealed she turned down a biopic on her life as she is not keen on the idea of someone else portraying her in a movie.

The 51-year-old singer, who is set to play at Glastonbury over the weekend, said she may change her mind later down the line and also revealed there is a documentary in the pipeline.

Speaking to The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column, she said: ''Having someone else play me? It has been mentioned, it's not been actioned.

''I don't know how I feel about that but, look, it might happen one day but it's not on the cards at the minute.

''How do you condense that into an hour and a half? You need a great director to edit all of that, to tell enough of the story and get enough of it in.''

The Can't Get You Out of My Head hitmaker, who was forced to pull out of headlining Glastonbury 14 years ago as she battled breast cancer,  admitted that it's very ''emotional'' looking back at hold archive footage of her life and career, but admits a documentary is on the cards.

''We are talking about a documentary and to me it feels like climbing Mount Everest."

''I've gone through a lot, and am still going through, a lot of archival stuff - photographs, film, all kinds of work things, for the greatest hits.

''I'm normally so concerned with moving forward that to have this moment of retrospection, being forced to look at what I've done, is not something I'd naturally do, so it's good. It's fun. It can be emotional.''
