Peter Andre, the star of Mysterious Girl, has begun filming in a brand-new TV drama role after the negative reviews of his earlier this year Jafaican movie.
Peter Andre has received a boost after the backlash from his latest film project as he has landed a new TV show. The Mysterious Girl hitmaker is set to appear in his very first drama role.
He has been hit with criticisms over his latest movie, Jafaican, in which he stars as a faux gangster. Peter took centre stage in Fredi Nwaka’s latest comedy romp – playing hustler Gary Buckle who tries to be mob boss Denton ‘Kill Man’ Powell donning a fake dreadlock wig and putting on a Jamaican accent.
The flick has been marred by accusations of cultural appropriation and being labelled “tone-deaf” by some viewers. At the time, Peter brushed off critics and has already moved onto a new project.
Stephanie Beacham, Camilla Rutherford, and Nick Moran will also appear in Channel 5’s newest program, The Sunshine Murders. Peter will play the lead role in the murder mystery when it airs in September.
As he examines victims of gruesome murders while wearing a white doctor’s coat and clinical rubber gloves, the TV star is expected to take on a significant position on the program. He and his son Junior traveled to Cyprus, where their sons had previously worked together, to support him.
It comes after Peter defended his time working for Jafaican, saying: “I think it’s very easy to criticize something based on a trailer. I would advise you to “go and watch the movie first,” so you can see the story behind it and the context.
He continued to tell the Daily Star: “A critic should also be able to criticise, so I understand how it is.” Peter also acknowledged that the film wouldn’t be everyone’s cup of tea.
Peter defended his work, saying, “I believe it is really important for everyone to have their own opinions.
I don’t believe it’s appropriate to just assume everyone will approve of what you’re doing, but I’ve always said, “Don’t do that, you shouldn’t do that, that’s not the right song to release, that’s not a good video clip,” I’ve always said.
He continued, “I would never have accomplished anything if I sat and listened to everyone telling me what to do.” Sometimes, I believe, you just need to push yourself and leave your comfort zone.
Peter’s eldest children Princess and Junior have been by his side at a recent a red carpet screening for the film. While promoting the movie on Australian TV earlier in the month, Peter said of the criticism: “Well, to be fair, I mean, I think it’s good to get all sorts of feedback.
“I mean, this is not my first lead role, but I’ve done a lot of other things.” I’ve played a variety of characters for each of them.
