She’s a successful and talented actress, but Rose Byrne has revealed that she wanted to be Kylie Minogue.

“My dad took me to five of her concerts by the time I was 11, and a few years ago I did a sixth,” she told The Guardian.

“I find it incredible how she went from being in Neighbours to this huge pop star, from being completely slated by the Australian press to becoming their darling. And she’s a breast cancer survivor, too. To have gone through that and had the courage to talk about it openly is commendable.”

The stunning brunette, who turns 35 on Thursday, also said that she wanted to do a film like Bridesmaids for a long time.

“I’d longed to do comedy for a while,” she said in the interview. “I think we all harbour secret ambitions and that was mine – I’d always been limited to being seen as a serious actor. Thankfully, it worked out.”
