Tallia Storm sets her sights on Hollywood as she films first movie – enlisting Kylie Minogue and Eva Longoria for advice
TALLIA Storm is filming her first ever movie role – and has even enlisted Kylie Minogue and Eva Longoria for advice.
Singer Tallia, 24, has seen her career go from strength to strength in recent years, having been first discovered by Elton John at the tender age of 13.
Not only has her latest single Addicted racked up 335k YouTube views, she ventured into presenting earlier this year as the co-host of Capital Scotland’s breakfast show.
And last month, she was unveiled as the new face of global footwear giant Steve Madden too.
But despite her impressive resume, Tallia continues to dream big and has now set her sights on Hollywood.
The Sun can reveal she’s currently shooting scenes for an exciting new rom-com, directed by rapper Nines, who she became friendly with through social media.
Crop Circle 3 will accompany the musician’s latest album and will premiere as soon as next week.
With the super speedy turnaround, Tallia’s been spending lots of time on the Basingstoke set and, while she couldn’t tell us exactly what the plot entails, the influencer revealed she plays a character named Eve.
In a BTS snap shared to a co-star’s Instagram, she can be seen wearing a wedding dress alongside four other brides, though.
The Scottish star, who once starred in Celebs Go Dating, said, “Obviously I’ve done reality TV, but I’ve never actually worked with a script in a massive role.
“So the next thing you know, you’ve got like 60 people on set, all staring at you, you’ve got hair and make-up, a car, an assistant.
“I’m like, ‘This is insane to me! But also a dream come true.’ And also, I was even nervous to meet Nines. I’ve never met him before and he’s my dream rapper.”
Explaining her role, Tallia teased, “She’s like me. I’m basically playing myself. She’s sassy, she’s funny, she’s a bit shy.
“I kind of like it because she has an insecure side, a vulnerable side, and I think being able to dive into learning about this character, it’s getting me to understand myself a bit more.
“I know that sounds really cringey but because we’ve got teams of people dissecting the script and teaching me, I’m like, ‘Wow, this is actually insane.’ It’s like a little therapy session.”
When Kylie appeared on Tallia’s radio show earlier this week, she couldn’t help but ask the superstar for some acting tips.
Having shot to fame on Neighbours, the Spinning Around songstress had plenty of pointers to give the budding actress – including keeping on top of her breathing pattern on set.
Tallia’s longtime friend, Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria, is also one of her biggest cheerleaders.
The songwriter said, “She’s been supporting me for nine years and obviously things take time, but I think when people like that support you and and give you a little nod, it’s really comforting.
“You need it. It can be quite lonely being in this world and chasing that dream and being a creative person, because ambition is the biggest strength but also the biggest weakness because it does consume every single part of you.”
Tallia’s determination is undeniably paying off and she’s now keen to work with Gerard Butler and Mark Wahlberg on her next picture.
- Crop Circle 3 will be released next Friday.
