British pop star LILY ALLEN wants to become an actress after she finishes her next record. The 22-year-old has decided to take a break from music to follow in her father Keith Allen’s footsteps and concentrate on her acting career instead. Allen tells British magazine Closer, “I’d love to go down the acting route after my next album. “I definitely want to explore acting when the time is right.” The Smile singer has already landed her first movie role in a film spoof of writer Jane Austen’s classic novel, Pride + Prejudice.
Actor Keith Allen used his pop star daughter Lily Allen to help him sell drugs when she was a baby. The 54-year-old admits he took her to England’s Glastonbury festival as a “sales tool” to sell drugs and illicit alcohol.
He says, “I didn’t see what was wrong with taking little Lily along with me as a sales tool, rather like the homeless lads do with dogs. Lil sat next to the stall gurgling in her pushchair while I cranked up the sales patter and knocked out the lager.”
