However, the actor’s breakout role has to be playing pop icon Britney Spears in Lifetime’s ‘Britney Ever After’. 

The actor also appears in the Elvis Presley biopic, directed by Baz Luhrmann, where she plays Dixie Locke – the iconic singer’s first girlfriend. 

Bassett had actually taken Musk’s mother, Maye, to the film’s premiere at the 75th Cannes film festival.
