But alas no, for some namely Rihanna that’s just not enough. The chart-topping singer has been bitten by the acting bug.

According to The Sun today the Barbadian beauty wants to star in the upcoming remake of iconic gangster film Scarface.

But it’s not just a minor cameo that she’s after, Rihanna wants to step into the shoes of Elvira Hancock who was played by Michelle Pfeiffer in the 1983 film.

Michelle Pfeiffer played the part of Elvira Hancock in the 1983 film.

A source told the newspaper that the pop star is a huge fan of the flick also starring Al Pacino: ‘Rihanna loves Scarface.’

Not only that, but they claimed the 24 year old can talk the talk and also walk the walk when it comes to the character of Elvira: ‘Some of her videos have been based on Michelle’s character… She knows all the words and even has her walk perfected.’

Rihanna’s film career so far consists of a minor role in Battleship and an appearance as herself in, wait for it, Bring It On: All or Nothing.
