CHAPPELL IS A TRAINED ACTOR! Chappell Roan has revealed that the only reason she started making music was so she could get into Hollywood and pursue acting! “I originally started doing music because I wanted to get my foot in the door for acting, and then I moved to Los Angeles, and I was like, “No way.” The industry is so scary, and it is so out of my control. I can put out music whenever I want. I don’t have to wait for a casting director to cast me. I’ve been trained how to act, but it’s the most stressful thing in the world to me.” Well, never say never - one day, Chappell might change her mind and give acting a shot!
