Miley Cyrus is REBUFFED by Heated Rivalry star after she revealed she wanted to write song for the show

by

François Arnaud, known for his role in the series ‘Heated Rivalry,’ has reacted to Miley Cyrus’s offer to create a song for the show‘s second season.

Thirty-three-year-old Cyrus confessed she hasn’t seen the six-part hockey-themed romantic series, but enthusiastically stated she’s eager to contribute music to it.

Oh my gosh, you guys, did you SEE her interview with Variety at Palm Springs?! It was everything! Marc Malkin asked her something, and she just straight-up pleaded, like, ‘Please, someone, cast me in something! I’m ready, I’m available!’ It was the most adorable, desperate thing ever, and I immediately started imagining all the roles she’d be perfect for. I’m officially campaigning for someone to ‘book her’ – she NEEDS to be in everything!

Arnaud issued a sharp response to the pop star the following night at the Critics Choice Awards.

He told Variety that Miley shouldn’t criticize the show before actually watching it, saying, ‘Miley, please just watch the show first.’

The Canadian actor, age 40, mentioned they might have a slightly larger budget for the second season, but it likely won’t be as big as the budget for a show starring Miley Cyrus.

Miley Cyrus says she’s “so in” to do music on Season 2 of #HeatedRivalry: “Get me booked.”

Arnaud then quipped, ‘I think if she sees the show, she might give us a discount.’

On the hit show, his character, Scott Hunter, shares a passionate and emotional love story with Robbie Graham-Kuntz’s character, Kip.

Connor Storrie plays Ilya Rozanov, and Hudson Williams plays Shane Hollander, the two main characters in Heated Rivalry.

The hot and heavy scripted series is based on the romance novel of the same name by Rachel Reid.

There were rumors that Miley Cyrus, known for her role in Hannah Montana, enjoyed the show after she seemed to approve of a post about a competitive matchup on social media.

She admitted she hadn’t seen it yet, but now it’s a priority. Everyone she talked to today started the conversation by telling her she needed to watch it.

Cyrus made a striking appearance on Saturday night in a stylish black pantsuit by Tom Ford. She paired the blazer with a black blouse featuring white polka dots, creating a bold and fashionable look.

Arnaud attended Sunday’s red carpet event wearing a black, double-breasted Yves Saint Laurent suit, with styling by Luca Kingston.

In another part of his conversation with Malkin, he discussed his wishes for the future of Scott and Kip’s relationship if they appear in season two.

I think the storyline with Scott and Kip is more inspiring than the one with Shane and Ilya. That’s what makes it stand out.

For a second season, if we’re involved, I’d like to explore the difficulties of a very famous person being in a relationship with someone who never asked for that kind of attention and is now unexpectedly thrust into the spotlight.

Jacob Tierney, the show’s creator and co-writer, was surprised by how explicit the ‘Game Changers’ books were when he first read them, as he told Rolling Stone.

Arnaud initially felt a little surprised by how explicit the sex scenes were, but he trusted that Jacob’s character would ultimately subvert expectations.

Many people are drawn in by the more sensational parts of the story, and that’s perfectly fine. However, I believe Jacob skillfully uses those elements to explore deeper, more emotional themes, ultimately creating a very moving conclusion.
