Tom Jones is more of a singing actor if you didn't already know

  • July 20, 2012
  • Sam Hine

(Sir) Tom Jones thinks singing is just like acting.

The Welsh shouter said this very thing in a brief bellow with the Daily Star, noting: "I've always thought of singing as being like acting, so I try to put myself in the position of the person the song is about."

"There hasn’t been much darkness in my life," the 'Come Home Rhondda Boy' singer explained, "I’ve never really fucked up." (!)

Sir Tom also thinks it'd be pretty good to have a film based on his life.

"At one time I thought Robbie Will­iams would do a good job playing me. But now even he’s a bit old, and you’d need someone who could play an even younger me."

"I think Paolo Nutini could do a good job, certainly with the singing," he concluded.

Let's be honest Tom, that sounds fucking shit.
