Lingard, 30, said: “But I need to take drama classes — I’ve not done that yet.
“I just love films.
“I’ve always been a big film lover.
“And to be involved in a film or a series would be amazing.
“I need to really home in on the drama side of things — I’m really bad with lines to be honest.”
Jesse, also a businessman, told the Diary of a CEO podcast: “I think I’ll start in comedy first.”
