First look at Delta Goodrem as Olivia Newton-John

The trailer for the new biopic of Aussie darling Olivia Newton-John’s life has landed.

The Channel Seven miniseries titled Olivia: Hopelessly Devoted To You stars Delta Goodrem as Olivia – and judging by the promo Delta is absolutely the right pick for Olivia!

Landing the role of Olivia was a dream come true for Delta, who throughout her childhood idolised the singer and actress.

“Olivia influenced my earliest years as an evolving artist and became the backbone of influence to living my life and heart as a proud Australian artist. I aspired to have her grace, humility and talent from the time I started singing,” Delta told The Daily Telegraph.

“I grew up with Olivia’s energy and beautiful voice in my world through her music, and then from an early age I was truly blessed to find friendship and mentorship from Olivia. She is an icon. I am deeply humbled to play my idol and friend, and I am truly excited to share with people a part of Olivia’s life story.”

Delta, 33, will star alongside Diana Glenn, Morgan Griffin, Todd Lasance, Gyton Grantley and George Xanthis.
