Shailene Woodley eager to play Stevie Nicks onscreen

Actress Shailene Woodley is eager to show off her musical skills and portray singer Stevie Nicks onscreen.

The Divergent star has taken on drama, romance and sci-fi flicks over the past few years, and now she's keen to take on a musical role, setting her sights set on playing Fleetwood Mac's Nicks.

Woodley tells Women's Health magazine, "I would love to play Stevie Nicks. She's just such a fascinating woman who's lived such a life and is still living such a life. Her music was really profound for me in my life.

"I think it'd be an adventure to play Stevie Nicks. I love that there is no other Stevie Nicks in this world. She is so fully herself, and undividedly herself. That, in itself, is such a powerful lesson to take in and be like, 'Wow.'

"No one is going to be the next Stevie Nicks and Stevie Nicks was next the next anyone. And I think that's such beautiful advice for all of us. You do you, we do we. She does she in such a beautiful way."

And the 22 year old divulges she's willing to show the world she can carry a tune in general, keen to take on any role that will show off a different side of her talents.

She adds, "I think it'd be great to sing in a film. I love to sing. I guess another dream movie would be a movie like (musical drama) Once. It’s so romantic and sensual and musical but doesn't feel like a musical necessarily."
