Singer Jessie J reveals that she has turned down several movie roles, including one in the 2010 film "Kick-Ass", where she was to appear alongside stars Chloe Grace Moretz and Aaron Taylor-Johnson. The reason was her busy schedule.

"I've been offered superheroes. I was also offered a part in the last 'Kick-Ass' movie. There was a role written for me in the film. I went and met with them, but I couldn't do it. My schedule is ridiculous," the 26-year-old singer was quoted as saying by dailystar.co.uk.

The pop artist is hoping to make her movie debut next year or in 2016, but insists she will only take up a role in films if her music is in good place.

"I've been approached again about another film but I'm somebody who definitely likes to focus on one thing so it doesn't get diluted.

"My pet hate is when an album and a film suffers because everyone is trying to do too much at once. So maybe next year or the year after, if the right role comes along," added the singer.
