While Lenny Kravitz is currently out on his Black and White America tour, fans can also see him on the big screen in the film adaptation of Suzanne Collins ' The Hunger Games , which hits theaters on March 23. “I always figured [acting] would come back into my life,” Kravitz told Rolling Stone . “I was an actor when I was a kid. When I realized music was my thing, I just gave it up. I put blinders on, just focused on music. It’s come back now and I really am enjoying it.”
Kravitz added that he wasn’t open to go back into acting until recently. “In the last 22 years, while I was making my music, I was offered a lot of films,” explained Kravitz. “I just didn’t find the roles very interesting -- a lot of clichéd type of stuff and really obvious things. I didn’t want to make films because I can. There’s no point in that.”
After his experience in Hunger Games , Kravitz said that he’s looking forward to considering more acting jobs in the future. “I’m just waiting for the right roles to come in,” noted the singer. “Thank god I have a day job.”
