Metallica’s James Hetfield has spoken about his role in new western thriller The Thicket during a recent episode of podcast The Metallica Report.
In the film, released to US theatres on September 6, the singer/guitarist plays a lawman and performs alongside Game Of Thrones star Peter Dinklage, who produced the project. It’s only Hetfield’s second-ever onscreen acting role, following a turn as a police officer in 2019 Ted Bundy biopic Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil And Vile. Turns out, that may be due to Hetfield not being the biggest fan of acting in the first place.
