Avril LavigneAvril Lavigne has confirmed that she’s intended to keep persuing acting roles alongside her music career.

Avril’s first two films Over the Hedge and Fast Food Nation have both been premiered at Cannes this week.

Avril revealed: “I want to focus on both singing and acting.”

“I’d love to go further. I think it’s important for me to do it the right way and be smart about it and wait for the right parts in the right movies.”

“I want to start off small and warm up. I wouldn’t want to just throw myself into a big part. Over The Hedge was a great first film.”

The previously punky pop star has also acted alongside Richard Gere in the forthcoming film The Flock.
