Ronan Keating has revealed that he has auditioned for a part in the Lord Of The Rings prequel The Hobbit.

The Boyzone singer, currently on tour in Australia, confirmed that he is moving to Hollywood with his family to actively pursue his acting ambitions.

"We are going there in July, Yvonne and the kids. We'll get the kids enrolled in school there," he told The Sun.

"It may be for six months or we could even give it a year. We'll see what happens. I've done a couple of castings, I've done an audition for The Hobbit.

"That starts shooting in New Zealand in July so we'd be based there for quite a while instead of LA if it happens."

According to recent reports, the release of the two-part fantasy epic has been delayed until 2012.

Boyzone release new single 'Gave It All Away' on March 1.
