Stereophonics frontman Kelly Jones has spent the past two-and-a-half decades entertaining fans with number one albums and hit singles but his musical success could have been sidelined in the early 2000s if he'd fancied a starring role in box office hit, Moulin Rouge.
It turns out that the casting team behind the Baz Luhrmann-directed musical, which stars Ewan MacGregor and Nicole Kidman, had requested that the Cwmaman rocker come in and audition for an unknown part, but the singer didn't end up going.
Speaking, alongside bandmate and longtime best mate Richard Jones, on the Cat Deeley and Edith Bowman podcast, Friends Will Be Friends, Kelly was responding to a question from Edith about whether he'd ever thought about becoming an actor.
