Kerry Katona heads to Hollywood and gets her first movie role
Kerry Katona is looking to Hollywood as she makes her debut in a romantic comedy after becoming a millionaire thanks to OnlyFans.
Last month, Keri revealed that she had undergone painful eyelid surgery, but she may have been hinting that she was preparing to head to the silver screen.
The 43-year-old Atomic Kitten icon will star in Finding Forever as Nina Bennett, a beauty salon owner, in the road trip film that begins filming in the spring.
She has signed with talent agent Donia Youssef of Wonder Talent Management and said she has been working her “butt off” and wants to “be taken seriously as an actress.”
A source told The Sun: “Kerry is gaining strength and training her butt off in preparation, and this is an intense and emotional six-week course and she is putting in blood, sweat and tears.”
This big news comes after Keri became a leading content creator on subscription site OnlyFans, turning her fortune around following bankruptcy.
She twice declared bankruptcy before heading to the popular site, and her net worth is now estimated at $2,000,000 (£1.5 million).
It is believed that Keri will continue to run her OnlyFans, and will also launch a reality show about her daily life through the service as she breaks into the film industry.
The source continued: “She is being professionally trained one-on-one by acting coach Antonia Doggett. “Kerry has always been a good young actress, but keep in mind that acting requires years of training.
“She doesn’t just want to play the role, she plans to master it.”
This will be Kerry’s first-ever leading film role after stints on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here, Celebrity Big Brother and her own reality shows.
She’s appeared in some low-budget comedies before, including Gemma Arteton’s 2008 film Three and Out.
The synopsis for “Finding Forever” reads: “Can we be satisfied with one soul mate forever?” Three best friends go on a life-changing journey to find out.
