Michelle Keegan addresses move to Hollywood following Fool Me Once success

Could she be swapping Brentwood for Hollywood?

Michelle Keegan has broken her silence following rumours she could be set to quit the UK for Hollywood.

After the success of her hit Netflix series Fool Me Once, which hit number one worldwide, it was reported that Michelle may be eyeing up a move to the US.

The actress has already spent a lot of time there, as husband Mark Wright lived in Los Angeles for three years while he worked on entertainment series Extra.

Now, Michelle, who lives in Essex with Mark, has revealed she would be open to re-locating. But only if it was for the right role.

I went to America when Mark was out there. Didn’t like it. But let’s see. If a job comes up… I guess?

She told The Guardian: “I went to America when Mark was out there. Didn’t like it. But let’s see. If a job comes up… I guess?

“I’ve never thought beyond what I’m doing right at that moment. And I think that’s how I live now as well. I don’t think in terms of goals. I live in the moment.”

Former Coronation Street actress Michelle starred as Maya Stern in Fool Me Once, the series adaptation of Harlan Coben’s novel.

Amid her huge success, PR expert Nick Ede claimed she could be propelled to even bigger stardom.

He told OK! Magazine: “It’s really given Michelle a platform to make her a major star. All eyes are on her at the moment because Netflix is watched by millions of people globally and her series is number one here and in the US.

“She looks every inch the Hollywood leading lady and she has star quality. As a Hollywood producer or director, you want somebody who’s the whole package – and that’s Michelle.”
