    Ellie Goulding Would Love to Try Out Acting in West End

    The ‘Burn’ singer is keen to branch out and launch an acting career by starting out on a stage show in the West End theatre before venturing into onscreen role.
    Aug 24, 2020
    AceShowbiz – British pop star Ellie Goulding is keen to launch a career in acting.
    The “Burn” hitmaker told U.K. tabloid The Sun she’d love to reinvent her career as she reflected on how much she’d enjoyed acting onstage as a kid.
    “I acted a lot when I was young and I really enjoyed it. I loved playing different characters.,” Ellie, 33, explained. “It’s probably a very different kind of confidence from being on stage. But I’d like to see if I’ve still got it.”
    “I would probably be in a play. I’ve seen a lot of plays in the last couple of years in London and I’d like to start there,” the star mused.
    Ellie went on to confess she didn’t feel a blockbuster movie would be the right choice for her to start with – despite musical peers like Rita Ora and Rihanna already venturing into that territory successfully.
    Despite her ambitions, the star is still firmly rooted in her music career. Ellie released her latest album, the U.K. chart topping “Brightest Blue”, last month (Jul20).

      Ellie Goulding 'Treated as a Sex Object' by Music Producers When She's Teen

      The ‘Lights’ singer recounts her ‘uncomfortable’ experiences with producers at the beginning of her music career when she was a teenager trying to make it in the industry.
      Jul 11, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Ellie Goulding was “treated as a sexual object” by producers when trying to make it as a teenager in the music industry.
      The “Army” hitmaker started out in music in her late teens, eventually dropping out of university when she began to find success and releasing her debut album when she was 22.
      Starting out, the now 33-year-old says some producers tried to prey upon her vulnerability in order to get her to have sex with them.
      “The first producer I met wanted to sleep with me,” she tells The Guardian. “And I was like, why? I didn’t see myself as an object of desire. I wouldn’t be able to get home because I couldn’t afford it, and they would say: ‘You can stay.’ But there would always be the suggestion of something. I’d have to laugh it off – I constantly had to laugh things off.”
      The star reveals that she was often offered alcohol and had to deal with advances that made her feel “uncomfortable.”
      “Other sessions would have alcohol and it would get to a point where the man would say something suggestive and I’d feel uncomfortable,” Ellie adds. ” My whole career started off with instantly being made to feel like a sexual object, and being made to feel vulnerable in those sessions. And there are so many female singers that will hear me saying that and say: ‘Yeah, I can relate.’ ”
      These experiences left the star feeling that sexualising herself “was what one of my strengths had to be,” adding, “I really was programmed into thinking that that was part of how to succeed.”
      The singer releases her latest album, “Brightest Blue”, on 17 July.

      Ellie Goulding Terrified of Performing Online as She Feels Insecure About Her Look and Voice

      The ‘Love Me Like You Do’ singer opens up on her securities following her performance at the pre-show of Lady GaGa’s ‘One World: Together at Home’ livestream.
      Apr 20, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Ellie Goulding has always resisted the idea of posting performances online because she doesn’t think she looks or sounds good.
      The 33 year old plucked up the courage to join the British leg of the Global Citizen “One World: Together at Home” livestream on Saturday night, April 18, 2020, but she admits she usually turns down the idea of a home performance.
      “I have a really unusual voice so you either love it or hate it,” she tells The Mirror. “I think I need to get to a point where I’m comfortable posting videos singing – but I overthink it.”
      “I thought I had a big nose and my hair was really weird or that I didn’t have a great figure. That’s why talking and being frank and open about it is really important because every single one of us… has our own insecurities.”
      Goulding joined the likes of Rita Ora and Liam Payne for the “One World” pre-show online and admits it felt great to be part of a huge movement for good, “It’s amazing that we all get to be in something together, terrible as it is.”
      Ellie performed a rendition of “Love Me Like You Do” from her home and then re-appeared onscreen later to talk about anxiety issues she has been struggling with on lockdown.

      “I know music has saved me, I mean it really saved me in my life but saved me recently having to be indoors and if you’re like me you love exploring, love to walk, but because we’re all staying in together this will be over soon hopefully (and) we can catch the last of the summer,” she said.
      “But this has proved that humans can be awesome and the fact that everyone has come together and shown such incredible kindness towards each other, and just following on social media just making each other laugh and making videos and making memes, it’s the stuff that keeps us going and laughing.”
      “Watching funny stuff has helped me through this time. I can get quite anxious, actually I’m finding it really hard. Music has really helped – I’ve been listening to a lot of old music from the 40s and 50s.”

      Ellie Goulding Shoots Down Matt Healy's Suggestion People Don't Buy Her Album

      Reacting to The 1975 frontman’s comments about pop artists, the ‘Love Me like You Do’ hitmaker points out why she believes ‘people have been fairly invested’ in her music.
      Feb 1, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Ellie Goulding has responded after The 1975’s Matt Healy suggested in a recent interview that people don’t buy her albums.
      The 30-year-old rocker was asked for his opinion about how streaming affects record sales in an interview with Beat Magazine.
      “The artists whose single streams are in the billions, people don’t buy their albums, necessarily…Ellie Goulding, people will listen to her music at the gym and they will listen to it on playlists,” he mused. “They’ll put the Pop playlist on and it will get out there. When it comes to her putting out a record, which is someone saying, ‘Will you invest in my lifestyle?’ or ‘Do you want to invest in me, as an idea?’…I have a lot of ‘Yes, I want to invest in you as an idea, and less, ‘I’ll pop this on when I’m doing whatever.'”
      But Ellie was less than impressed by Matty’s quote, hitting back on her Instagram Story, “I’ve had 3 multi platinum albums so I feel like people have been fairly invested but ok I’ll let you have it.”
      Elsewhere in his interview, Matty took aim at Drake, insisting he’s more interested in achieving longterm success than having popularity in the moment.
      “I’ve said this before, but the Drakes of the world, they’re professionals at keeping people’s attention for three minutes,” he explained. “They can do that again and again. I’m not that good at that. A single will happen accidentally throughout the myriad of writing songs.”
      “The way that we express ourselves is like longform. I can do it and I do it occasionally, I’d love it if we can make it work where I get a big idea down in three minutes. We’ve always been an albums band.”
