He said: &#x27;I&#x27;ve been waiting all my life for the next Shirley Temple and I&#x27;ve finally found her.&#x27; I can&#x27;t tell you who the director is – it&#x27;s top secret at the moment,&quot; Mr. Vigor told MailOnline.Mr. Vigor said the director is now persuading Xia&#x27;s mother Christy Bernardo to consider the offer.Meanwhile, Mr. Vigor also reacted to British journalist Piers Morgan&#x27;s opinion that Xia is being &quot;<a href="http://metro.co.uk/2017/01/17/piers-morgan-left-uncomfortable-by-7-year-old-taylor-swift-impersonator-6385514/">sexualized</a>.&quot;&quot;He&#x27;s wrong,&quot; Vigor told MailOnline. &quot;We know the bigger picture over here so we don&#x27;t worry about Piers Morgan.&quot; &quot;People may say she&#x27;s on TV and I&#x27;m exploiting her but she does many things people don&#x27;t see. At Christmas we visited a poor village and she gave her toys away to the children there,&quot; he added.

Her impersonation of Taylor Swift has already garnered global recognition but child star Xia Vigor may be just warming up for her biggest transformation yet.
