Nicki Minaj 'wants to launch acting career'

Nicki Minaj has hinted that she is interested in launching an acting career.

Speaking to King magazine, Minaj expressed a desire to work with Alice In Wonderland director Tim Burton.

"I’d like to play someone in a Tim Burton movie, where I get dressed up and painted and crazy," she said.

The 'Your Love' rapper also revealed that she particularly admired Angelina Jolie's performance in Salt and asserted that she'd like to one day take on a role in a relatable drama.

"And then I'd like to just play a regular girl who, you know, is facing the world. Something really sentimental and organic, that girls all around the world can identify with. You know, how Jada Pinkett Smith did in Jason’s Lyric," she explained.

The star recently scored a top five US album with her debut Pink Friday.
