Actors want to sing, singers want to act, directors want to… act too, sometimes. But not Chapel Roan. The drag-loving, chart-topping, pop star of the year festival winner, whose shows are full of dramatics and choruses, pulled no punches in a Interview magazine chat with SNL star Bowen Young, when the show's protagonist asked her if she might consider acting as an escape from the insanity of pop stardom.
“I say this with peace, love and blessings,” the 26-year-old star of nearly a decade told Yang. “Actors are crazy.” Yang agreed, though Roan noted that, of course, he didn't mean him. “You can, I'm crazy,” he assured her.
“I don't know you, but I know you're not the vibe I'm talking about,” Roan explained. “Like, I'm so freaked out by movie people. I've been asked in the last couple of weeks, like, “Do you want the lead on XYZ?” While Roan didn't specify which projects she was asked to be a part of, she said she appreciated the attention, but was definitely not looking to take her talents to the big screen.
On Monday (August 19), the “Red Wine Supernova” star hopped on TikTok to talk about the “harassment” she's been receiving from fans lately, bemoaning the lack of boundaries fans have when it comes to interacting with her. her private life. “I don't care that this crazy behavior comes with the job, my chosen career field. That doesn't make it okay. That doesn't make it normal,” he said. “That doesn't mean I want it, it doesn't mean I like it. I don't want whatever it is you think you're supposed to be entitled to whenever you see a celebrity.'
Although she flatly told Yang that she wasn't interested in adding a hyphen to her professional title, Roan revealed that she's not a complete novice when it comes to being a thespologist. “I originally got into music because I wanted to get my foot in the door for acting, and then I moved to L.A. and I was like, 'Fk that,'” said Roan, who noted that she trained in acting. , but she finds the idea “the most stressful thing in the world.”
“The industry is legitimately so scary and it's so out of my control. I can make music whenever I want. I don't have to wait for a casting director to say, 'It would be great to cast you, and then we'll decide your schedule for the next three months,'” Roan said.
He did shed some light on the right project, adding that if he changed his mind, the project would have to be “really specific and really stupid,” so he might consider a cameo. That said, he added, “I'd rather be arrested.” Plus next year is fully booked anyway.
