Me star in Robbie’s pop video? I’ll take that
Callum lands role on music hero’s film
A SCOTS actor has landed a dream role in Robbie William’s latest pop video.
As a boy, Callum Kerr was a huge fan of the Take That star.
So he was delighted when he got the part in the video for Robbie’s single Mixed Signals.
In the film, Callum, 22, plays a handsome stranger in a bar who catches the eye of Robbie’s girlfriend.
Callum, from Musselburgh, East Lothian, said: “Robbie Williams was my first favourite singer because my mum was a huge Take That and Robbie fan, so there were always CDs in the house.
“I used to get my hair cut like Robbie.
“I wanted to look like him and I used to listen to his album all the time.
“It’s so weird that I’ve now been in one of his videos. I had a really fun time with all the cast and the crew but Robbie wasn’t on set that day. He did all his filming a few days before.
“My mum had said, ‘Give Robbie a big kiss from me’, but that didn’t happen.”
Callum used to study finance at college but he decided to move to London a year-and-a-half ago to give acting a go.
He said: “I audition for a few things every week. The audition for this video was really random. I knew I was auditioning for a music video but it wasn’t until I got to the audition that they said it was for Robbie Williams.”
Callum’s mum Dawn is thrilled at his Robbie connection.
He said: “My mum loves seeing me on the screen.
“She’s just so proud.”
