Peter Andre slowly learning script

Peter Andre is "slowly" learning his lines for his debut movie role.
The 44-year-old singer will make his big screen debut in ‘The Undoing’ and has developed a painstaking process to ensure he’s word-perfect when filming begins on the project next year.
He explained in his column for new! magazine: "I’m slowly learning the lines and I have my own way of learning them. First, I read the script out loud over and over. Then, after a few weeks, I read it into a Dictaphone and listen back to it religiously (no, I don’t like the sound of my own voice) and lastly, I write it down. Let’s hope it works!"
Peter is determined to make a success of his new acting career, so much so that he’s also vowed to hire an acting coach to help him.
He said: "Whatever happens, and I know it’s early days, I’ll get with an acting coach here in the UK and really work hard at it so I can deliver it the best I can."
The ‘Mysterious Girl’ hitmaker – who has children Junior, 11, and Princess, nine, with ex-wife Katie Price and Amelia, three, and Theo, six months, with spouse Emily – announced on Twitter last month that he’s landed a "damn big part" in the movie.
He posted: "Finally. I’ve received (after months of talks) my first ever film script. Start filming in LA next year, and…it’s a damn big part…. wahoo.! I’ve only waited 44 years. @jhickox I’ll see you soon brother. Told you I had big fish to fry (sic)"
And the film – which is going to be directed by James D.R. Hickox – appears to be in the horror genre, as the poster features a shadowy figure walking down an abandoned corridor and the phrase, ‘There are some things you don’t want to know … this is one of them’, is printed on the poster.
