Jessie says she turned down film roles

WASHINGTON:  Jessie J has revealed she has turned down movie offers from Hollywood - because she puts her music first. The Price Tag singer told the Daily Star she was offered the chance to play a superhero on the big screen, but she was too busy working on her new album Sweet Talker. Jessie said: ‘I've been offered superheroes. I was also offered a part in the last Kick-Ass movie. There was a role written for me in the film.  ‘I went and met with them but I couldn't do it. My schedule is ridiculous.’ She added: ‘I've been approached again about another film but I'm somebody who definitely likes to focus on one thing so it doesn't get diluted. ‘My pet hate is when an album and a film suffers because everyone is trying to do too much at once. ‘So maybe next year or the year after, if the right role comes along.’–BEL
