True Hollywood Stories: Jen Akenishi
First, a recap: Akanishi Jin is going!, going! back, back to Cali, Cali for some solo concerts in June and the rest of KAT-TUN will be releasing a single and touring Asia. After the solo shows, Jin will be hanging out in America until October to do... who knows what. Rumors of Jin's exit from the group continue to float around the interwebs.
Well, Tokyo Sports has shed some light on the "real" story behind Jin's trip to the US. Those of you who guessed "baby mama drama," I'm sorry, that is incorrect. We were looking for "collecting money from his hos." No, wait, that's not it either.
An insider states, "Of course he's going to do the concerts, but his main goal is to break into Hollywood. In fact, I heard he's going to audition for a certain movie.
"Johnny's may be able to throw their weight around with TV stations in Japan, but that power doesn't reach all the way to Hollywood, so Akanishi is going for an interview to really fight for this. If word about it got out and on top of that he ended up failing, it'd be bad for his image so the concert was used a cover."
So what's the movie? Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. He will audition for the part of a young leader of a band of Japanese pirates -- a very important role.
Jin's a huge fan of the POTC series and at the risk pissing off the jimusho he was determined to go for it. Despite reports of KAT-TUN not getting along, the rest of the group have agreed to let him go.
Shooting for the film begins June in Hawaii. The filming of the movie and the length of Jin's stay in America is no coincidence. Will he pass his audition?
And if not, how will he be spending time in the states? Who knows if this is even true, but uh... good luck with that.
