Nicola Adams, the star of Strictly Comes Dancing, has revealed that she has been secretly enrolling in acting lessons for the past six years and will make her acting debut the following year.
She can already take pride in the fact that she is a two-time Olympic boxing champion and a star of Strictly Come Dancing. But now, Nicola Adams has lifted the lid on her new career move.
The 42 year old former athlete has revealed that she has been taking acting lessons and is now set to make her acting debut in a film next year. Nicola is set to star in The Gun on Second Street alongside Poppy Delevigne and Bruce Willis’ daughter Rumer.
The movie’s plot centers on America’s rising gun crime rate. Nicola explained to The Sun about her new career, saying, “I just want to work with people who are just as hungry as I am.” I don’t want things to just go right when I show up.
The former Strictly Come Dancing star who took the dancefloor by storm in 2020, added: “I put in the work, I put in the graft, just as I do as an athlete as well. I want to take it as far as I can in terms of how I grow as an actor. “
Nicola claimed that her extensive acting and character development had allowed her to use the lessons she had learned over the years.
The boxing champion has since taken on a subdued role in the upcoming movie, and she credits this with revealing the character’s personality, which enables her to convincingly portray deep emotions.
And when questioned about how to develop character and convey emotion, Nicola responded that she tries to feel those emotions for herself and doesn’t use depressing language to convey those feelings.
Alongside her upcoming film, Nicola is also starring in a BBC children’s show titled High Hoops, which is due for release in November.
Since Nicola is no longer competing in the boxing ring, she is now free to pursue her dream, which she has always had.
Nicola explained to the publication that she had no idea what to do with acting while boxing when explaining her new career. However, she claimed that Strictly gave her the freedom to experiment.
After her partner Katya Jones tested positive for Covid, Nicola was forced to resign from the BBC dancing competition in November 2020.
The gold medalist said at the time, “My Strictly journey has come to an end so quickly. There was so much more I could give and so many recipients I could benefit! But I just want to say a huge thank you to Katya for being “the best dance partner anyone could ask for.”
She continued, “I’m devastated to be out of the competition, but the Covid measures in place are to keep everyone safe, and I’m doing what I can to help.”
And you can see why Nicola was devastated, despite her best efforts to win the glitterball.
She stated in an interview that she was “super competitive,” and that she will definitely put “110%” into my training and performance because I do want to win. “I’m super competitive,” she said. It’s entirely different to say whether I’ll be successful.
