After stunning audiences with her performance at this year's Capital Summertime Ball with Barclaycard, pop icon Zara Larsson has revealed her upcoming Netflix debut. Set to star alongside Young Royals actors Felicia Maxime and Edvin Ryding in the coming-of-age drama, A Part of You, the 25-year-old singer is embracing a brand new challenge.
Chatting exclusively to The Agency about the role, Zara teased: "I'm a drama girl so I'm going to be very dramatic. It's raw and it feels real and it's emotional and it's sad, but it's happy and it's big, but it's small."
The Can't Tame Her hitmaker admitted the biggest challenge for her is adjusting to life in front of the camera. "It's really hard not to look into the camera," Zara said. "I'm like, 'Where's the camera, where's the camera?' With music and TV, it's like... but when you do movies you can absolutely not look at the camera so that's gonna be tricky."
Zara also opened up about how she needs to have "discipline" and "sit down and prepare" for the role, something she's not used to. "I'm very bad at preparing for stuff," she said. "My band are always joking with me when we're doing production rehearsals or any kind of rehearsals, I just want to lay on the floor, scroll on TikTok, like, I just don't like rehearsing, and then when I'm on stage it's go time."
Reflecting on her decade-long music career, Zara believes she's been fortunate to be surrounded by the right people. However, she's calling for more women in production, stating it would be "amazing", as well as more women in high positions, such as CEOs and chairwomen.
"I work with so many different super-talented people but I haven't really seen a lot of women who are making the tracks, so that would be cool," Zara said. "And then obviously in the higher up positions, not only on stage but the CEOs and the chairwomen, I'd like to see more of that, the ones who are really holding the cash."
It's set to be an exciting year for Zara Larsson, and we can't wait to see what the future holds for her.
