• The duo co-authored their comprehensive book, Unparalleled, which was released in 2020
• I hope to get the approval of the club that is called the “Secret Publishing Weapon.”
• Now the hosts of Twin Love are hoping to bring the memoir to life on the big screen

Nikki and Brie Bella have revealed that actress Reese Witherspoon ignored their pleas for her to feature their “empowering” memoir at her celebrity book club.

The Bella twins — who now go by their last name “Garcia” — co-authored their comprehensive book, Incomparable, which was praised for being “raw, honest and revealing” when it was released in 2020.

At the time, Brie was keen to get the Reese’s Club stamp of approval – which she dubbed her “secret publishing weapon” – however, her attempts to contact the Hello Sunshine mogul ultimately fell on deaf ears after she failed to get a response from the label. The star.

“When our book came out, I sent a direct message to Reese Witherspoon’s book club,” Brie explained. I said, “Hey, I know you like stories about women. I think you’ll really like this one. It sounds right up Reese’s alley.”

No one ever responded to me, but I wrote them this long direct message. I wrote to them twice. I say, “Hey Sunshine, is anyone home?”

She continued: “I feel like our stories… wrestling is a big part of it, but there’s a lot of our childhood, what we fought there…

“There’s a lot of our story that I feel will empower not only women, but men as well, so we loved that.”

Although Reese never reached out about sharing the memoir with long-distance book club members, the Twin Love hosts could still pair up with the Hollywood actress and producer when it comes to bringing the memoir to life on the big screen.

Hello Sunshine, now worth $900 million, is behind some of the most successful TV shows and movies of recent years, including Gone Girl, Wild, Where the Crawdads Sing, Daisy Jones & The Six, Big Little Lies and Little Fires Everywhere — all of which have booked TV adaptations Which was included for the first time in the Race Club.

“After we published our memoir, I always thought, ‘I’d love to make it into a TV series or a movie,'” Nikki said.

“And also add so much of our lives, so much more than we could fit into one memoir. Because technically, Bree and I could probably write three books in a row.

When Bella suggested sharing their story as a “series,” the conversation then turned to who should portray the couple.

Nicki explained that Selena Gomez was her top choice, with the twin sisters suggesting she could play both roles like Lindsay Lohan did in the 1998 film The Parent Trap.

She also expressed interest in seeing Wednesday star Jenna Ortega, 21, take on the role, with Brie saying: “Actually her and Selena, that would be good!”

The pair aren’t keen on appearing as themselves in any potential adaptation, however they are excited about the idea of ​​getting into acting as they continue to move on from their lives as superhero wrestlers.

“The Rock, John Cena and Dave Batista, get out of the way,” Brie joked. The Garcias are coming!”

She continued: “The strike has ended and I am happy that everything has been implemented because we really want to get out of this situation.” Even superhero movies. Yes, that would be great.

“But there’s a lot more to it,” the mother of two added. “And if you read our book, ‘Incomparable,’ you can see that she and I, we’ve been through it, so we have the passion for it, but she and I really want to get into (the) written work.”

Currently, the busy duo can be seen hosting the Prime Video dating series, Twin Love. The dating competition show sees ten sets of twins split up and placed in two houses to test whether they follow the same love interest as their twin.

Exciting viewers about what they can expect from the remaining episodes, Nikki stated: “The eliminations are bold because one house has an elimination.” So Brie’s house is elimination night. Whichever twin gets eliminated has to come to my house, pick up their twin and leave.

“Even if the twin couple were in love, it didn’t matter. And that, to me, was crazy.

She continued: “Also, at the end of the season, we bring all the twins back together in the same house.

“Because a big part of this journey is when you’re with someone, the judgment of your twin other, which can destroy a lot of relationships.” “So, when it happens, it’s amazing.”

Earlier this year, the sisters announced their official retirement from WWE, also revealing that they were retiring their stage moniker Bella – and will instead use their birth last name, Garcia.

“Today we are officially from now on, the Garcia Twins, Brie and Nikki Garcia,” Nikki said on their podcast The Nikki & Brie Show on SiriusXM.

Twin Love is available to stream on Prime Video and Amazon Freevee.
