Peter Andre is hoping to make the leap from reality TV to Hollywood stardom after wowing critics with his portrayal of an ex- heroin addict.
The 46-year-old pop singer now has a contract with a top US agent after being nominated at the Beverly Hills Film Festival for Best Actor in a Short Film.
He impressed as tattoo-covered ex-junkie John in The Inheritance and said of the role: “It was very dark but he somehow has an epiphany. I loved it. I am co-writing a second script.”
Explaining how he hopes to spread his creative wings, the former I’m a Celebrity star added: “I have signed with John Ferriter. John manages Ryan Seacrest and has done stuff with Mark Wahlberg and he’s very good.
"He is my first American manager. I had someone in the 90s but that was just music, this is TV and film, so I will definitely be working a lot more over there.”
In terms of his music, Peter is also planning big changes. He said: “You kind of realise there is all this new talent and the music industry changes. I think it’s time to work with some South American musicians. I love all that sound.”
Peter was speaking as he supported cider firm Bulmers on a project to promote orchard restorations. He explained: “I have an orchard at my house in Cyprus. It’s another passion.”
