Sam Fender has his sights set on Hollywood after scoring a No1 LP.
The Geordie singer told me: “I’d absolutely love to write a film one day. I’ve had a couple of mad ideas for a film. I could write the script, but I’d be lost after that.”
Sam actually has experience as an actor, having played a murder victim in the first episode of ITV police drama Vera when he was 15.
He revealed: “I was in a small drama group run by the Newcastle actress Annie Orwin.
“Annie played a foster mother in Byker Grove and she was like a foster mother to our drama group too. I found my confidence as a kid thanks to Annie.
“I was a very angsty, angry boy, full of emotional hell as I was dealing with family things.

“Annie taught me how to channel all that and turn it into art, which is a skill I’ve used to this day. I could have become an actor, maybe, but in acting you’re playing somebody else’s character and in music it’s your vision.”
Current album Hypersonic Missiles is only a week old but Sam has already begun planning the follow-up.
Sam enthused: “I’m really enjoying writing about my hometown and I feel I’m starting to find something in my sound with the ‘80s style of my song The Borders.
“I wrote that song on piano, and I want more grand songs on piano in my new stuff. I also know a title that might be for a future album, A Month Of Mondays.
“I was thinking of calling my first record A Month Of Mondays, but there’s already the song Dead Boys on this record.
“If I’d called the album A Month Of Mondays too, I was worried people would think I was totally miserable!”
