'Pineapple' Spence lands movie role

Pineapple Dance Studios star Louie Spence has landed a movie role in Swinging With The Finkels.

Writing on his official blog, the dancer confirmed that he had a successful audition for the Mandy Moore and Martin Freeman comedy, which follows the adventures of a suburban couple who take up swinging.

"I had a fabulous audition for my feature film. Well, it's not my feature film, it is Mandy Moore and Martin Freeman who are the stars, but I got the part," said Spence.

"Can you believe it? Honestly, I can't! Admittedly they were looking for someone quite flamboyant (gay), so maybe it wasn't down to my acting skills at all. But I don't care!"

He added: "I'll be high-kicking and back-flipping all the way down the red carpet at the premiere."

The movie, which is also rumoured to star Melissa George and Jerry Stiller, is expected to be released later this year.
