Olivia Newton-John reveals why she won’t watch her TV biopic

Olivia Newton-John has admitted she probably won’t be watching the Channel Seven mini-series based on her life starring Delta Goodrem.

The 69-year-old told Australian Women’s Weekly on Thursday: ‘I probably won’t watch it. When they told me they were doing it, I was horrified.’

Olivia admitted she was worried about the consequences for other people of her personal life being dramatised on-screen.

‘It’s not their fault they were married to me or were my boyfriend, so I didn’t want it to happen,’ she said. ‘But then I realised it was going to happen whether I want it to or not.’

While a biopic was not what she wanted, Olivia said she asked for any profits going her way to be donated to her hospital so that something positive could come out of the situation.

She also spoke warmly of her friend Delta, who will play her in the TV special ‘Olivia: Hopelessly Devoted To You’.

‘I think she’s a really good actress and a great singer so that made it okay, because we’re friends,’ Olivia said. 

Olivia also revealed the Born To Try hitmaker had called her asking whether she should take the role. 

Meanwhile, The Let’s Get Physical star is releasing an autobiography, which is due for release later this year.

She explained it was a cathartic experience for her to write about the ups and downs in her life.

Olivia was diagnosed with cancer for a second time last May after experiencing pain she thought was sciatica.

Since undergoing treatment, the Australian songstress has said she is doing well.

In an interview with Sunrise last December, she said: ‘I’m feeling well… and I have no pain and life is wonderful.’
