First case of a top TikTok blogger being cast in a movie.

TikTok star Addison Rae has been invited to play the lead role in a remake of the romantic comedy She's All That, which in the new version will be called She's All He. This is reported by The Verge.

The 19-year-old blogger, who has 60 million subscribers, is best known for her dance videos. Likely it was her dancing skills that led to her being invited to the film, where the prom plays a central role in the plot.

The original 1999 film is about high school student Zack Siller, who bets he can turn an unattractive girl into the prom queen. In the remake, the plot will be reversed.

Rae's invitation marks the first time a top TikTok blogger has landed a role in a major film thanks to popularity on the app.

Earlier this week, at the age of 82, British actress Diana Rigg, who played Olenna Tyrell in Game of Thrones and one of Bond's girls, died.
