Larry the actor

[Ms Lemon]

did anyone else see this??? I've been away from my computer the past couple of days.......


U2 drummer LARRY MULLEN is considering leaving the Irish band to become an actor.

The WITH OR WITHOUT YOU rocker is thrilled he's in the world famous group, but since his 43rd birthday he's been tempted by the challenge of pursuing an alternative career, before he's too old.

Mullen explains, "I might take on a new challenge of doing some acting. I like the idea of going to it late.

"But the band is all I've ever wanted, and I get paid for it. I don't want to sound smug, but I've got the best job in the world."

"But different things come into play now that we've all got families. We don't have the freedom we once had."

Maybe he's doing an Elvis movie

 

[FallingStar]

at least he can already play scenes á la Electrical Storm.

I hope Larry's not going to get all the Ben Affleck parts once Ben's career is officially over

I would like to see Larry in the Daredevil outfit though if they made a sequel to that

 

[madonna's child]

Larry should stick to the drums.

They already are. It's a spin-off though.

I really can't see this having any validity... I mean, the man stays behind his drum kit & avoids papparrazzi for a reason, you know? He doesn't like all the fuss! Yet he's going to put up with the crap that actors go through??? I don't think so. Remember, the guy's got a wicked sense of humor -- I can easily see this being said HEAVY with sarcasm.

Mmm but he was rather wooden and expressionless in that video wasn't he? Stick to the drums love!

 

[ladylardence]

I think everyone should calm down. Even if he does do some acting, I'm sure it'll just be as a side project to the band.

 

[nurse chrissi]

he could start with a skit on SNL.......

 

[one4u2]

I'd like to see him on the big screen

 

[Keocmb]

Maybe he's doing an Elvis movie

Mullen did a bad job in Electrical Storm.

The reporter should have read the entire article.

looks pretty good to me

 

[UltraVelvet]

With you right there Kelly!

He was funny in the Comic Relief skit too - "I thought we were saving up to buy ... err.. Andorra?"

I can see him doing the odd cameo, just for fun - y'know, the henchman or third bikie from the left sort of thing. I hardly think we'll see him skip a tour to try Hamlet with the RSC.

jick cracks me up
he comes in here just to say something stupid and negative
kudos for him being brave enough to go into pleba
hes so funny

 

[u2bonogirl]

do you think the guys would let larry leave to be an actor?

He should have been in the million dollar hotel!

 

[starsgoblue]

I've got a movie he can star in with me...a movie for 'grownups'.



Kidding!! Totally kidding. Sorry, it was there, I had to say it.

 

[bono_man2002]

Good news people.
Larry has singed on to my U2 sitcom....pages back in Fan Fiction....1 down 3 to go

 

[crystal4470]

maybe when they tour australia, larry can try out for a part in home and away or even neighbours.

im sitting here in australia and its 11:00pm thursday night, so i havent seen the article that made the comment that larry was concidering acting, but i agree BluRmGrl in that its a comment that he has said for a joke. he has got a sence of humour that most australians can relate to.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

I'd give him an Oscar for that performance

 

[UltraVelvet]

OMG! His acting isn't THAT bad!!!!

I still wouldn't watch the show, either.
