Max George has held talks with 'Coronation Street' bosses over a potential role - but it's never "interested" him.

The 32-year-old singer-and-actor - who was previously engaged to ex-'Corrie' star Michelle Keegan - has come close to landing a role in Weatherfield, but he wants to concentrate on the big screen for the time being.
He said: "There’s been quite a few soaps that my agent and I have had conversations with, but we’ve never seen it through because I just want to focus on films at the moment.
"'Coronation Street' is only around the corner and I’m a Manchester lad, so it kind of makes sense. I’ve had talks about that, but it’s not something that’s ever interested me.
"For me film is what I want to concentrate on first, but never say never with anything."
Max is hoping to become a hit in Hollywood, and he plans to spend three months of the year working in the US in a bid to land more movie roles.
The Wanted star added to the Daily Star newspaper: "It’s been very difficult to get work because of COVID, but I will be going back to the States, and I will probably spend three months out of the year over there."
Last year, Max filmed his first movie, 'Me, Myself and Di', in which he plays a lifeguard.
The motion picture also features former 'EastEnders' star Larry Lamb, model Lucy Pinder, and 'Outnumbered' actor Tyger Drew-Honey.
Should Max join 'Corrie' or one of the other soaps one day, he will be no stranger to the small screen as in 2015 he starred as Clint in musical comedy-drama 'Glee'.
