Valerie Bertinelli doesn't want there to be a Van Halen biopic until after her death.

The former 'One Day at a Time' star was married to late rock star Eddie Van Halen from 1981 until 2007 and she admitted she has told their son Wolfgang Van Halen that he can't authorise such a project until she's no longer around to see it.

Talking about the upcoming Beatles movies, Valerie said on 'The Drew Barrymore Show': "Oh god, I hope they never do one of Van Halen. Make sure I'm dead. I told Wolfie, 'Make sure I'm dead.' "

Drew quipped: "Oh you know they're gonna do one of Van Halen."

Despite the 64-year-old star's reluctance for such a project, she already knows who she'd like to play her.

She said: "Oh… Selena Gomez. She would be amazing. But Selena, don't do it! Please don't do it!"

Drew agreed with her choice and noted they would have to "figure it out together" when the film is inevitably made.

Valerie insisted: "I'll be dead."

The host argued: "No you won't!"

Earlier in the conversation, Valerie discussed comparisons made between her and Yoko Ono - who many Beatles fans believed was responsible for breaking up the group - while she was married to Eddie.

She laughed: "Oh you didn't know that I broke up Van Halen? As if I had the power to break up a band.

"I wore [the comparison] proudly. Yoko is an amazing woman. She's an artist. And she did not break up the Beatles. The Beatles had their own issues."

And Valerie noted Van Halen "definitely had their own issues" too, insisting her ex-husband - who died of cancer in 2020 - wasn't solely responsible for any disputes.

She said: "And it wasn't all Ed's fault, okay? I'm just gonna put that out there.

"Everybody loves to blame Ed and he can't defend himself -- nowhere near was it all Ed's fault, he was a quiet… he just wanted to write his music and play his music."
