Actor-singer Lily Allen once auditioned for a part in the hit streaming series The White Lotus, which stars Jennifer Coolidge, Alexandra Daddario and Sydney Sweeney.

The 39-year-old singer, who recently split from her second husband, Stranger Things actor David Harbour, revealed she attempted to land a role in Mike White's TV anthology series but was not successful, reports Female First UK.

Speaking on her podcast Miss Me?, which she co-hosts with best friend Miquita Oliver, Lily said, "I haven't auditioned for anything really. I did do a self-tape for The White Lotus and obviously did not get it. But I think I'm a bit scared of doing self-tapes. Maybe now I would do them because I don't think people give as much of a s*** about me anymore. Back in the day I didn't like the idea of casting officers having a tape of me in case they would share it with other people. Now I don't really subscribe to that fear so much, I don't really care”.

As per Female First UK, Lily has landed some roles on stage and is set to play the lead in a new adaptation of Ibsen's play Hedda, from British director Matthew Dunster.

She said, "I did a photoshoot last week for Hedda, the play that I've got coming up and I really loved it. "I'm really excited about getting into the rehearsal days for this play and yeah I do hope that I get more opportunities. I want to put myself out there a little bit more and be a bit braver with doing self-tapes and going up for auditions and stuff because it is something that I enjoy and it something that I think I have the ability to be good at”.

Lily added more details of her acting aspirations, joking, "I don't know if the Oscars is what I'm going for, but a nice UK detective series, I'd love that”.
