Emily wanted to be a pop star

Los Angeles: Actor Emily Blunt says veteran star Judi Dench talked her out of becoming a pop star.

During her appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live', Blunt revealed that she wanted to be a pop star, reports eonline.com.

"I could have been Britney (Spears)," she joked, noting that her dreams were short-lived because of one minor detail.

"I realised I wasn't good at dancing and I didn't want to be Britney. I don't know," she added.

A Quiet Place Part 2 star admitted that she had recorded some songs and even tried dance lessons.

"I don't want to tell you too much because I feel like someone is going to find these songs. Do you want to know the name of one of them? 'Ring It Up'. It will never see the light of day," she said.

Emily assured the late night host that she didn't help write the tune.

She got an advice from Judi Dench that helped her make the right decision.
