Lisa Curry has shared who she would want to portray her in her own biopic.
From winning 15 gold medals, to starting a family, to enduring unspeakable heartbreak, the former Olympian has lived a varied life so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that she has thought about a movie being made about her life.
In fact, she has one of her famous friends in mind.

“We are friends but also, she is blonde, blue-eyed. I don’t know what her butterfly (stroke) is like though,” she joked.
Earlier this year, Lisa released her highly anticipated memoir called: Lisa: A Memoir – 60 years of life, love & loss.
The book that detailed much of her life and would make a great base for a classic Aussie movie and Lisa also hopes the biopic would feel “pretty real and a bit of a Queensland bogan [at heart].”

She also welcomed her three children Jaimi Lee, Morgan and Jett with ex-husband Grant Kenny but was touched by tragedy in 2020 when her beloved eldest daughter Jaimi tragically passed away after suffering various health battles.
Lisa also lost her mum Pat in March this year, less than two years after Jaimi.
