Actress Fergie is quite excited about her new role. This Grammy winning singer has been starred in “Nine” as Saraghina. It was a big screen adaptation of the Tony winning musical. In the musical, she will sing a saucy song, ‘Be Italian’ along with Daniel Day-Lewis.
During an interview with a popular news agency of United States, Fergie has thrown more light on her on-screen role. According to Fergie, "She's basically a prostitute on the beach," "She introduces him to the world of sexuality. It's a very strong song. I'm just thrilled I get to play a character. I'm singing, but I'm not singing as myself. I'm going to be singing as a character, and that's what's really exciting to me."
This thirty three year old actress joins other cast members namely Day-Lewis, Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz, Nicole Kidman, Judi Dench and Kate Hudson in "Nine." Rob Marshall ("Chicago") has undertaken the responsibility of directing the movie. Shooting of the film is scheduled to start in the month of October. Fergie, whose real name is Stacy Ann Ferguson, had portrayed minor roles in films like “Poseidon" and "Grindhouse".
When asked about Fergie’s reaction to the whole thing, the actress said, "I'm speechless". "I'm definitely going to be a sponge on set. I want to pick up on everything that all these brilliant actors are bringing to the table. I'm probably going to be the quietest that I've ever been while working just because I want to watch and learn."
On Monday Fergie was in Las Vegas in order to launch her two new shoe lines at the World Shoe Association show in the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Fergie, who released her hit solo album "The Duchess" in the year 2006, said that she is now in the studio working on a new album with the Black Eyed Peas.
"It's a new sound". "We're going into the future. We're not doing the same old thing. We're not trying to copy what's out there on the radio. We're being artistic and pushing the envelope," added the actress. |
