Kelly Clarkson Put Off Acting For Good - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Singer Kelly Clarkson has vowed never to appear on the big-screen again - because her last foray into acting was "horrible."

The Since U Been Gone hit-maker starred in comedy musical From Justin to Kelly in 2003, as part of her deal for winning the first series of reality TV show American Idol. The film was a box office flop, widely panned by critics - and Clarkson insists she will never be tempted to make the transition from musician to film star again.

She tells Attitude magazine, "Oh it was a movie I had to do, and it was so horrible. Whoever won (American Idol) had to do it. I tried to get out of it legally, because I have no desire to be an actress. My favorite actresses are like Meryl Streep and Cate Blanchett and I always hate when I go to movies and I think you just shouldn't be an actress. It was horrible. I am a horrible actress. Whenever it's like a musical, or a video, I do fine. But urgh - it was horrible. I hated every minute of it. Everyone on the set will tell you that I was nice; I was lovely to work with... I just hated it. I will never be an actress. Ever. That's what I'm saying."

Not that I want her to venture into acting or anything, but it's hard to say whether she has any acting ability or not based on that one film. The script was just so beyond awful, I don't think the best actors in Hollywood could have made it look good, or even halfway decent.

Hey, I didn't want her to act either.

But as usual, nobody listens to me.

That's right.

It's rare that you hear of a singer who DOESN'T want to be an actress.

I remember reading another article sometime back in which Kelly said she wouldn't want to do acting again. I agree From Justin To Kelly was terrible but I think Kelly could be a good actress. She did musicals and plays in high school. I think given the right script or role she could be good. I also read somewhere that she has written a few screenplays.

^ Maybe in the movie biz, she prefers things behind the scenes. But you're right, maybe if the right script comes her way, she might give acting a try again. You never know.

I remember seeing her on an episode of "Reba" and I thought she did well.
