Lavigne Lands Lead Movie Role

Emma · 06-10-2008, 12:46 AM

Canadian pop star AVRIL LAVIGNE is set to put her music career on hold after landing her first lead role in a movie.

The singer has toyed with acting in the past, taking on minor roles in last year's (07) The Flock and 2006 film Fast Food Nation. She also provided the voice for a character in 2006 animated movie Over The Hedge.

But now Lavigne is stepping up her career as a serious thespian with her first starring role - and she insists it will be totally different to her previous work.

She tells British publication The London Paper, "I've got a film role coming up - something you wouldn't expect from me, something deep and dark."

She's got personality and presence, let's see if she has the focus and dedication.

You call that 'deep and dark' ? She is clearly blonde and PINK, just like her personality. Bright and bubbly is a much closer description.

She tried to be an angsty teen when she came out, but I think she has failed miserably at it. She knows people know she's just a poppy princess. At least she's trying to expand herself.

I wouldn't say "Bright and bubbly," but I don't know why she wants to be so dark. I think she should just stick to music, which is what she is best at.

She even said that she would always focus on her music....she also said she would never dye her hair blonde, etc.

ScooterMcKyle · 07-14-2008, 11:57 PM

I think she is pretty hot!

eliterebel · 07-19-2008, 11:39 PM

I wish her the best in her career!

marys · 07-23-2008, 06:44 PM

I don't know what to expect from that. I'll give it a try though when the trailer is out. But I won't put my money on it. Avril Lavigne in a leading role... Reminds me of Crossroads

Cool- can't wait to see her acting!

iwantalexback · 07-26-2008, 10:18 AM

I don't think I can see her doing something "deep and dark".

BellaBlack · 07-26-2008, 03:00 PM

Finally, I've been wanting to see her for ages in a movie, she was pretty cool in Over The Hedge and Fast Food Nation but a bigger role would be cooler.

Kraza · 08-01-2008, 11:20 AM

I think it would be interesting to watch how she plays out this type of new role.
