Canadian singer Avril Lavigne has ambitions to break into acting after landing a role in new animated movie Over The Hedge.

She appears alongside Bruce Willis and Rosanna Arquette on the project, and did not even had to audition for the part.

Talking to WENN she said: "I love performing and actually when I was quite young I was acting in the theatre as much as I was singing. Hopefully, I'll land a really cool part or a bigger part in a movie."
