Kym Marsh considers career in Hollywood

Kym Marsh has revealed she'd 'never say never' when it comes to launching a Hollywood career. The Coronation Street actress - who plays Weatherfield's Michelle Connor - said: "I don't know, there's been lots of rumours about me at the moment - I'd never say never!" She added: "It's such a hard game out there, it would be very difficult I think - you've got to have a special something, so who knows, I might try my hand there sometime." If Kym did become a Tinseltown hit, she'd pick Johnny Depp as her dream co-star. "Either him or Colin Farrell - or my Jamie (Lomas) of course," she said. Kym is now taking a break from Coronation Street, but her alter ego Michelle's absence is clearly having an effect on lovelorn Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne). The boozy bookie will have a hard time coping on Friday as he tries to come to terms with the fact he's an alcoholic.
