Imbruglia doubts her talent
August 09, 2007
She's one
of the country's most successful exports, with accolades in music and film
under her belt, but superstar Natalie Imbruglia has admitted she is racked
with self-doubt about her upcoming film project.
The actor-turned-singer
revealed her concerns before heading home from London to shoot the
independent Aussie flick Elise in October - her first lead role
since she starred alongside British comedian
Rowan Atkinson in Johnny
English four years ago.
"I've got no idea if I'm going to be able to pull it off - it's a
challenge," Imbruglia said.
"It'll actually be very hard for me because it's quite a still performance
and I'm quite over the top, loud and expressive."
The multi-talented entertainer will play Elise Silverton in the film about a
woman haunted by the disappearance of her sister 20 years earlier, based on
Georgia Blain's novel Closed
for Winter.Imbruglia will head to Adelaide to start filming after she
finishes promotional duties for her new singles collection Glorious.Having
grown up in a small beach town on the Central Coast, Imbruglia said she was
drawn to the role because it reminded her of her childhood.
As rockstar hubby Daniel Johns
winds up his band Silverchair's
tour with Powderfinger in
Newcastle on October 26, the couple are hoping to spend some more time in Oz
together after filming on the project wraps.
Long distance partners Johns and Imbruglia were reunited in London this week
after the end of Silverchair's US tour, with the rockers hitting the Old
Dart's Brixton Academy tonight in front of a capacity crowd.
"I went on the road with them, to New Jersey and New York - it is blowing up
for them out there. It's a very exciting time," Imbruglia said.
