"Greta Gerwig has revealed that she finds the thought of being compared to Liza Minnelli &amp;quot;daunting&amp;quot;. The Greenberg actress will fill Minnelli&amp;#039;s role in the forthcoming remake of Arthur, starring opposite Russell Brand and Helen Mirren.

She said: &amp;quot;All of my gay theatre friends told me that I couldn&amp;#039;t possibly be as great as Liza. I told them, &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;m not trying to be as great as Liza. Nobody could be as great as Liza. I don&amp;#039;t think that I am!&amp;#039;  &amp;quot;They&amp;#039;re like, &amp;#039;Good, you&amp;#039;re not!&amp;#039; I&amp;#039;m well aware that I will never live up to her but I&amp;#039;m very honoured that I get to play the same role she did.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Click here to read our full interview with Greta Gerwig "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
