Peter Andre aspired to act in forties

Los Angeles Feb 4 (IANS) Singer Peter Andre always wanted to launch a Hollywood career in his forties.

"I leave in March to start filming two movies in LA. I can t tell you any more which is a bit of a nightmare but I m so excited. I always said I wanted to go into movies in my forties - it was always my dream. So whatever happens I m filming in LA - as if I could ask for anything more " Andre told Heat magazine.

The star 44 has not been honing his craft in advance but he s confident in his abilities because he always did well in drama class at school reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Asked if he s been honing his skills he said: "Not really. I ve done read-throughs but I m going to speak to people because I want to be really good. The thing is I grew up acting at school and I was one of the highest achievers I got an A+.

"Funnily enough I failed at music I was terrible at it at school. Then again I always remind myself that Elvis the King of Rock n Roll also failed music - he got an F so I m in good company there."

Andre is looking up to some big names in Hollywood for inspiration.

"I love Robert de Niro and Al Pacino I grew up on those guys gangster movies.
But I also love really stupid slapstick comedies with Adam Sandler and Will Ferrell - I d love to do that. One of the films I m working on is actually a comedy " he said.
