We’re getting our first look at pop siren Christina Aguilera in the upcoming movie musical Burlesque.
Aguilera, 29, teams up with entertainment icon Cher and acting vet Stanley Tucci — formerly of Heroes — in her acting debut. The film — written and directed by Steven Antin — follows the story of a small town girl from the School of the Hard Knocks vying to make it big in the City of Angels. She finds inspiration in club owner Tess (Cher) and a gay stage manager played by Tucci.
“The girl I play, Ali, has a rough past – her mother dies when she’s very young and she’s been in foster homes. I could relate to that pain, growing up in an abusive household,” Xtina explains. “That gave me great motivation to provoke my tears for those scenes where I had to really pour it on. I felt it deeply, to go through a lot of those things that brought up a lot of painful memories,” she adds.
“It wasn’t just a girl who comes to L.A. and makes it big. It was a girl who had suffered and felt pain, been in seven foster homes. She doesn’t let her past make her a victim. And that to me was so appealing.”
Burlesque opens in theaters Nov. 24.
