ACTRESS Natasha Bassett started acting when she was 14 years old and has since worked to build up her career.
Recent photos show what appears to be Bassett with Elon Musk, prompting rumors that the two are together.
Originally from New South Wales, Australia, Natasha Bassett, 27, started acting when she was only 14 years old and landed the lead role in Romeo and Juliet with the Australian Theatre for Young People.
In 2009, Bassett earned the lead role on MTV’s Dungoona and went on to appear in the Australian TV series Rake (2010), Cops LAC (2010), and Wild Boys (2011).
In 2013, Bassett wrote and directed the short film, Kite, which was featured at the Rhode Island International Film Festival, Balinale International Film Festival, and the Big Bear Lake International Film Festival.
The ArtStart Screenwriters Program awarded her a screenwriting scholarship for her accomplishment and that year she moved to New York City to study at the Atlantic Acting School before relocating once again to Los Angeles to further pursue her acting career.
The 27-year-old’s claim to fame was for her role in the Britney Spears biopic, Britney Ever After.
The Lifetime movie came out on February 18, 2017, and although it did not have the seal of approval from the Oops… I Did It Again singer herself, Bassett said she was thrilled to play the role.
Prior to the movie’s release, Bassett told Us Weekly, “I have so much respect and admiration for Britney and what attracted me to doing this movie is that it’s truly a feminist story at its core.
“And as a feminist myself, I was inspired to tell the story of a woman’s journey. She was faced with so many challenges, but she comes out at the end so strong and on top.”
A representative for Spears said at the time the singer “will not be contributing in any way, shape or form to the Lifetime biopic, nor does it have her blessing,” but Bassett said she hoped Spears would watch it anyways.
Leading up to the role, Bassett said she had read everything she could find on Spears to make sure she understood who she was before stepping into her shoes.
“It shines a really positive light on her, how one of the world’s greatest entertainers — she’s also a mom of two gorgeous boys bounced back after a really trying time in her life,” Bassett said.
Despite Bassett’s efforts, the film was not well-received and negative reviews said Britney Ever After left much to be desired.
“The biopic paints Britney as helpless, ignorant, and at times, completely incompetent,” a USA Today review said at the time.
“Her Kentwood, (Louisiana) accent was expected to play its own role, but Britney Ever After turned young Britney into a mouth-gaped-open hick capable of only saying, “Y’all!”
Tesla founder Elon Musk was seen deplaning his private jet with a woman who HollywoodLife reported is actress Natasha Bassett.
The pair were first seen walking off the jet in photos published by The Daily Mail which reported that Musk and a “mystery woman” then drove off together in a Tesla.
An anonymous source told Hollywood Life that Bassett and Musk are dating and claimed, “They have been dating for several months and are in a monogamous relationship right now.”
The Sun has reached out to Elon Musk and Natasha Bassett’s casting agency but has not received a response.
