Last year, Jason Derulo made his theatrical debut in Cats. He wanted to make sure whatever movie he chose to be his first would be purrfect, and he thought Cats was going to be it.
Derulo told Telegraph, “For the longest time, I was trying to figure out what’s the perfect first role? Cats checked all the boxes. You can’t get a more star-studded cast, you don’t get a more respected director than an Oscar winner, and Rum Tum Tugger is a legacy role, a standout character in a classic musical. Even when I saw the trailer, I thought it looked unbelievable. Like, I know some people saw it and they were terrified, but I got chills down my spine! I thought it was gonna change the world.”
However, “It didn’t pan out. With all things that leftfield, it could either be considered genius or bats**t crazy. That’s the risk you take. It taught me a lesson. You can’t wait for the perfect moment, cause that might not be your moment. So you’ve just got to go for gold. That’s how I’ll move forward.”
Cats got gold, Razzie gold.
Hopefully, he will let anyone else pick his second movie. Although does he need to act? He is doing very well with TikTok.
