- Pop star Katy Perry says she almost landed a small role in The Help but her recording schedule forced her to turn it down.
- The 27-year-old, who made her acting debut in US TV comedy How I Met Your Mother, was in talks for a part in the Oscar-nominated film opposite Emma Stone and Viola Davis, reported Daily Star.
- "There was a time when I was going to be involved in The Help - just a small part; I wasn't going to be Emma Stone or anything - but I couldn't because the shooting schedule conflicted with the release of my record.
- "I was upset about that; I knew it was going to be an important film. Not that I need to do drama first, but I do want to do something that makes a strong impression," Perry said.
- The singer refused to speculate on what role she may have been offered or whether it was played by someone else in the film.
