Avril Lavigne wants to ditch music for an acting career.

The star says she is bored of singing and is ready for a new challenge in her career.

Lavigne, who voices a possum in new animated movie 'Over The Hedge', said: "I've had a singing career for five years. I'm ready to try out new stuff and have some fun."

The 'Complicated' singer has revealed she is keen to star in a dark movie and would love a role that allowed her to show a range of different emotions.

She revealed to Britain's TV Hits magazine: "I like more serious roles. I can see myself in something like 'Girl Interrupted'. I would enjoy doing a film on the darker side, something serious with depth. I'm good at expressing myself and getting all my emotions out."
