Lana Del Rey is open to swapping the recording studio for a movie set.
The singer, 40, made the admission in a new interview with W Magazine, confessing that she’s been thinking seriously about acting.
“Yes, I’d love to be in a film,” Del Rey told the magazine. “When recording, I’m a one-off taker on a song. But with my videos, I love to do a million takes.”
She also credited two directors as her inspiration. “Of course, I love Quentin Tarantino. He and David Lynch have been the biggest influences on my work.”
Despite her urge for a big-screen debut, the Born to Die star admitted she doesn’t actually watch many movies.
“The majority of what I watch is not films,” she confessed. “My favourites are shows on the Hallmark Channel. Going into 2018 and 2019, it was a bad time and I had Hallmark running on the TV 24 hours a day.”
Del Rey also revealed she turns to classic documentaries like Grey Gardens (1975) or Bob Dylan: Don’t Look Back (1967)—or even YouTube’s storm-chasing videos for comfort.
“If you search for ‘top 10 biggest tornadoes of all time,’ you can see them all. I like the drama of a tornado, the intensity of big weather,” she said.
Del Rey is currently finishing her upcoming country album, Stove, which is set for release in January.
