Chappell Roan Might Be Ditching Mic Drops for Movie Scripts, Thanks to John Waters Being… Well, John Waters

Buy Me A Coffee

Chappell Roan—aka the glam pop sorceress behind “The Giver”—might be trading in her microphone for a movie script… and it’s all John Waters’ fault. Yes, that John Waters, the legendary mustached mischief-maker who gave us iconic chaos like Hairspray, Cry-Baby, and enough camp to fill an RV park.

In a recent chat with W Magazine, our girl Chappell, 27, revealed that she met Waters and it totally short-circuited her brain in the best way.

“I met John Waters last night, which was INSANE,” she said, probably while floating two inches off the ground. “One of my idols! I was talking about how there are only so many ‘firsts’ in your career, and this man—this absolute agent of chaos—goes, ‘No, no, no—there are all the firsts when you become an actress!’”

At this point, Chappell’s internal monologue was probably screaming, “Excuse me???” But she politely responded, “I’m not an actress—what are you talking about?”

John Waters, unfazed and possibly sipping something fabulous, hit her with the kind of truth bomb only he could: “Every singer is an actress!”

And just like that, Chappell had an identity crisis that was 73% fabulous and 27% terrifying. “I was like, ‘Okay, maybe I am! Damn! If John Waters says I’m an actress, maybe I am!’”

Honestly, same. If John Waters told me I was a waffle, I’d start pouring syrup on myself.

For those who somehow missed the glittery cult legend memo, John Waters is the mad genius behind movies that your mom would call “disturbing” but your cool aunt would call “art.” He’s written and directed classics like Pink Flamingos and Hairspray, and he’s also acted in everything from The Simpsons to My Name Is Earl—he’s basically the patron saint of weird, and we love him for it.

So, is Chappell Roan about to become Hollywood’s next glitter-drenched screen queen? Only time (and maybe a very dramatic audition montage) will tell. But if John Waters believes in her, we do too.

Now, someone cast her in Euphoria: The Musical immediately.
