Dua Lipa is expanding her acting repertoire with a starring role in A24's upcoming comedy, Peaked. The English pop sensation joins a talented cast that includes Emma Mackey, Laura Dern, and Amy Sedaris, among others. Directed by Molly Gordon, the film is set to begin production in April, with details of Lipa's character remaining under wraps for now. As fans eagerly await the release of her fourth studio album, Lipa has been keeping busy with various projects, including a recent collaboration with Danny L Harle on the song "Two Hearts".
The plot of Peaked centers around two former high school outcasts trying to relive their glory days at their 10-year reunion. This marks Lipa's third film role, following her appearances in the Barbie blockbuster and Argylle. The singer's versatility extends beyond music, as she has expressed her enthusiasm for taking on different characters and exploring new personas.
Dua Lipa's foray into comedy with Peaked is a welcome addition to her already impressive resume. As Afrobeats continues to influence global music trends, it's interesting to note that Nigerian artists have yet to make a significant impact in the world of comedy films. Meanwhile, Lipa's commitment to exploring different roles showcases her dedication to her craft, and fans can't wait to see her bring this new character to life on the big screen.
