ABBA have ruled out being the subject of a potential big-screen biopic.

The group has considered the possibility of handing over the rights to their life story for a movie similar to Queen film ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ or Elton John’s ‘Rocketman’, but Björn Ulvaeus admits it’s not their thing.

Speaking to BBC Breakfast, the Does Your Mother Know star insisted he wouldn’t want an actor to play him, and he doubts his bandmates would either.

The founding member of the iconic Swedish group, which also stars Benny Andersson, Agnetha Faltskog and Frida Lyndstad, said: “I don’t think we would want that actually.

“I certainly know myself I wouldn’t want an actor – not while I’m alive – to play me on the big screen and I don’t think the others would like that either.”

Back in 2018, ABBA confirmed the release of two original new songs – I Still Have Faith In You and Don’t Shut Me Down – which has now been expanded to five, with Björn opening up on the direction of the tracks.

“One of them is a pop tune, very danceable,” he said. “The other is more timeless, more reflective, that is all I will say. It is Nordic sad, but happy at the same time.”

It’s the group’s first new music in four decades, and the Super Trouper stars are also planning to take their live show on the road with an upcoming hologram tour.

Opening up about the project, Björn recently revealed the band were “photographed from all possible angles” and made to “grimace in front of cameras”.

“They painted dots on our faces, they measured our heads,” he recalled.

And when it comes to Agnetha Faltskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad’s vocals, Björn admitted they had changed over the years, revealing they are “about one tone lower, perhaps” than in the group’s heyday.

However, he went on to promise that the sound fans would hear on the tour would still be “very much ABBA.”
