LOTT TO MAKE ACTING DEBUT
British singer PIXIE LOTT will make her acting debut in upcoming TV film FRED: THE MOVIE.
The 19-year-old Mama Do hitmaker stars alongside Lucas Cruikshank in th e independent comedy picture, which will debut on the U.K.’s Nickelodeon channel in August (10).
Lott admits she’s delighted to have landed the part as she spent years studying drama - but she’s surprised an acting role was handed to her so early in her career.
She tells the BBC’s Newsbeat, "I didn’t think I’d be doing acting so ea rly. I thought it’d be further on. I went to a stage school so I studied in drama, dance, singing and musical theatre so I had that background. I love entertaining.
"It’s about an internet phenomenon. Obviously Fred is the main characte r and I play the part of Judy which is the girl that Fred loves. The whol e film is about his journey to find Judy."
