Kylie Minogue: I love acting and being someone else

These days Kylie Minogue may spend her time curled up on the sofa watching Gogglebox but she hasn’t given up on resurrecting her life as a movie star.

The Voice coach told Metro how she needs to act to escape the mayhem of Kylie world.

‘I love being on set, it was my first job, and I love the opportunity to not be “Kylie”, to be someone else,’ the 45-year-old sighed.

Her bid to escape came as the sizzling video for her single Sexercise debuted online, showing her reinvented as a sex kitten who could give Rihanna a run for her money.

But fans of the former Neighbours star’s acting will have to wait.

‘At the moment it’s parked, but it’s something I’ll always have a little pilot light for,’ she lamented. Finding an escape is something she isn’t good at on her own, revealing Scissor Sisters’ Jake Shears was her ‘naughty brother’ while working in LA last year.

‘He’s the kind of guy who’ll get me to do something “normal,” like go to the movies, when I feel like I should stay home. He’ll say, “I’m coming to pick you up at this time, I’ve got the tickets, and we’ll just go”,’ she explained.

She’s relished being on The Voice but Kylie may find herself tested in the live finals.

‘I’m normally more reactive, or I go with the flow, I don’t like decisions – which is quite odd now I’m on The Voice which is decisions all day but I like to kind of feel my way,’ she said.
