Britney Spears talks about leaving acting days in the past; Here’s what she said
Britney Spears, the pop sensation known for her chart-topping music and tumultuous life in the public eye, is glad to have her acting days firmly in the rearview mirror. In preparation for the release of her memoir, «The Woman in Me,» Britney shares an exclusive excerpt detailing her experiences in the world of acting. She specifically delves into her audition for the iconic film, «The Notebook,» and why she considers it a blessing that she shifted her focus away from acting.
In 2002, Britney Spears made her feature film debut in «Crossroads,» where she starred alongside Zoe Saldaña and Taryn Manning.
While the movie marked her entry into the world of acting, Britney candidly reveals that the experience was far from easy. She admits that the challenge lay not in the production itself but in what acting did to her psyche. She describes her unintentional foray into Method acting, stating that she didn't quite grasp how to separate herself from the characters she portrayed.
Her portrayal on screen took a toll on her identity, to the point that she couldn't differentiate herself from the roles she played.
Britney Spears also discloses a fascinating missed opportunity in her acting career. She was on the brink of landing a role in the romantic blockbuster, «The Notebook,» alongside her former Mickey Mouse Club costar, Ryan Gosling. However, the coveted lead role ultimately went to Rachel McAdams.
