Maguire: 'My pop career was humiliating'

Meet The Spartans actor Sean Maguire has claimed that his pop career was often humiliating.

He revealed that although he developed "thick skin" it was often an uncomfortable experience promoting his records.

Maguire told Metro: "I’ve had every kind of humiliation, from playing in Gala Bingo halls to doing a PA in a Glaswegian nightclub and having cans of lager thrown at me."

He added: "I was pretty depressed. I felt I’d sold out. Like most of the country at that time I loved Blur and Oasis but was on stage singing: 'I want to hold your hand and kiss you, woo woo woo'.

"I felt like an idiot. People would come up to me on the street every single day and say: 'You’re crap'."

The actor released two albums and scored eight top 40 hits between 1994-97 including 'Someone To Love', 'Good Day' and 'Suddenly'.
