Tiffany Haddish is gearing up to play Olympic great Florence Griffith Joyner.
."Tiffany has established herself as one of the greatest entertainers in the world today – helping her tell the story of her idol Flo-Jo is an amazing honor and privilege.""I am looking forward to telling Flo-Jo’s story the way it should be told,” Haddish said in the statement."My goal with this film is making sure that younger generations know my ‘she-ro’ Flo-Jo, the fastest woman in the world to this day, existed.
Flo-Jo’s widower and former coach, Al Joyner, will serve as a producer and creative consultant on the project and has already begun training Haddish for the role. "I am so elated to team up with game1 and Tiffany Haddish on this project," Joyner added."Working with Tiffany has been a great pleasure – she is incredibly dedicated, focused, and committed to portraying the spirit of Florence accurately, whose legacy of making a difference in the world will live on for generations to come.
