KYLIE MINOGUE - MINOGUE PLOTS COMEDY CAREER

MINOGUE PLOTS COMEDY CAREER

Pop singer KYLIE MINOGUE is planning a new career as a comedy actress.
The Spinning Around hitmaker rose to fame in Australian day-time soap opera Neighbours and has returned to her thespian roots several times throughout her career, with a cameo role in 2001's Moulin Rouge! and on the small screen in a Dr. Who Christmas special last year (07).
Minogue was recently tapped to appear in a new movie by The Edge of Love director John Maybury and now admits she might go back to acting full time.
She says, "I started out as an actress and I thought if I was lucky that would be my career. Then I started singing and I was in that weird space where people say 'You can't be a singer, you're an actress.' Then they're saying, 'Well you're a singer, you can't be an actress.'
"I hate that! If you're creative, there's no reason you shouldn't work in different mediums.
"Recording and being a performer, thankfully that's gone really well, but now I'm starting to think again about acting."
And Minogue is convinced she has found her niche in comedy.
She adds, "It's so much fun. It's where I come from so I'm very comfortable to go back to that. It's not that well known that I'm funny, but I am funny. People who know me will tell you."
