Billy Porter<\/a><\/strong>‘s making everyone’s dreams come true, after spilling the tea about the upcoming live-action Cinderella<\/em> film. The 50-year-old star, who is set to play the iconic fairy godmother role<\/a>, is eager to bring magic and fantasy to the big screen.<\/p>\n

However, unlike previous versions of the classic princess fairy-tale, Porter tells E! News that James Corden<\/a><\/strong>‘s adaptation will take on a more relevant story line.<\/p>\n

“The only thing I can know is that I am calling it a Cinderella<\/em> for the #MeToo era,” the Emmy winner shares. “That’s all I really know.”<\/p>\n

While the Pose<\/em> actor didn’t spill too many beans about the project, he did explain that filming will start in early 2020. “We start filming in February and I have only had preliminary conversations about it over the phone,” he said.<\/p>\n

As of right now, only a few stars are attached to the project, including Camila Cabello<\/a><\/strong>, who will make her feature film debut<\/a> as Cinderella, Corden, who was the mastermind behind the remake, Kay Cannon<\/strong>, who will reportedly write and direct<\/a>, and Corden’s production company partner at Fulwell73, Leo Pearlman<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

While details about the Cinderella<\/em> remake are still being kept a secret, Porter confesses that he’s living out his “wildest dream.” Which is the kind of fairy-tale we love to hear!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“I am living beyond my wildest dreams actually. Interestingly enough, my dream didn’t include me being authentic. I thought I had to fix myself to be successful,” he previously shared with E! News<\/a>, after nabbing his second Golden Globe nomination<\/a> for his role in Pose<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“My masculinity was in question from the minute I could comprehend thought, so for the first 20 years plus of my career, I was just trying to be masculine enough to get a job,” he said. “I was trying to live up to society’s standard of masculinity and get a job. I never knew it could look like this. So that is what is really inspiring and fabulous.”<\/p>\n

Speaking of fabulous, the 50-year-old icon is already envisioning his 2020 Golden Globes ensemble.<\/p>\n

“I have already started thinking about a vision for what it is. I would love to work with Kim<\/strong> [Jones<\/strong>] from Dior,” he expressed. “I really would like to work with him because I think his work is amazing. There are a lot of people I want to work with, you know, anyone who wants to work with me I am pretty much down for.”<\/p>\n

He added, “You make something cute and I’ll wear it.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
