Ryan Reynolds nervous about singing in The Voices

Actor recalls preparation for musical part in in his new movie

Ryan Reynolds says he was terribly nervous before he had to sing in his new movie The Voices.

The 38-year-old, who plays fictional serial killer Jerry Hickfang in the black comedy, says when he was asked to sing in the film by director Marjane Satrapi, he broke into a cold sweat, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

“Marjane would laugh at me with her weird expression, saying I looked like ‘cold yoghurt’ as I walked in to record my part. I had a flop sweat, I was desperately pale - it looked like I was going in for a very aggressive prostate exam,” Shortlist magazine quoted Reynolds as saying.

Reynolds, who is married to Blake Lively, with whom he has a daughter, didn’t feel any more confident when he had to dance as his character, because he finds it so tough to follow choreography.

He explained: “I can’t follow choreography. It’s like I have a significant head injury when people start trying to tell me where to step or how to do it. But the singing terrified me the most. My co-stars happen to be Anna Kendrick, Gemma Arterton and Ella Smith - all fully trained singers, I was just doing a really bad Michael McDonald impression.”
