They've snapped a selfie together and now Hillary Clinton says she wants Oscar-winning actress Meryl Streep to play her in a biopic.

The former secretary of state, 66, who recently released her memoir, Hard Choices, said she would be happy for the 65-year-old to portray her in a film.

"If I had a choice, it would be Meryl Streep, of course!" Clinton told the Guardian in a video interview.

It's quite an obvious choice considering the similarities the powerful pair share. Both have two brothers and went to Yale University and they're less than two years apart in age.
