Andrea Jane Corr (natural May 17, 1974) is the lead singer for the Irish folk-rock band The Corrs. She as well plays a tin whistle.
She was innate around Dundalk, Ireland, the immature girl of Jean & Gerry Corr, ii musicians. She & her older sib, sisters Caroline (b. 1973) and Sharon Corr (b. 1970) and brother Jim (b. 1964), formed The Corrs to audition for the 1991 film The Commitments. Although everthing quartet appeared in the film, Andrea was the sole a single to become given a speaking partially. However many years afterwards, around another momentary appearance in a major film, she was wanted strictly for the cantabile role - it was the musical Evita, in which she played Juan Peron's mistress, who is suddenly displaced by Madonna's title character.
Inside 2002, the risk for Andrethe to launch a supplementary extensive acting career appeared to open higher, when she was strongly rumoured to use been offered the role of Lara within a recently British television production of Boris Pasternak's classic novel Doctor Zhivago. A character was notwithstanding finally played per so little-known Keira Knightley. Andrea is thought to use at times turned down a chance when learning the a share involved her to pop up naked around many scenes. This guide was uniform by owning a easily-known ambivalency towards the role that her gender plays within her career. On one h&, she has maintained the nonindulgent policy of left over fully-clothed for any photo-shoots she participate inside, despite many remunerative offers to tempt her to disrobe to occasionally degree, and famously responded to existence voted 'Ireland's Sexiest Woman' by appearing to like piously chide anyone that may actually own voted for her, remarking that she hoped it didn't good obviously get laid her. But then, she has openly admitted in a total of occasions that she & her sisters stand sought to harness their beauty for its likely to build the band's profile, by for example adopting sultry poses in their on line videos & photo-sessions.
Ironically, the main effect one stated attitudes, & what occasionally criticised when existence their inherent inconsistency, was an inevitably intensified determination on the a share of the tabloid click to publish a telling exposure of her, by hook or by crook imaginable. Soon Andrea's policy wwhen left inside tag end, as she eventually appeared braless around the British national newspaper, however inadvertently & forswearing payment - an extended-lens camerthe got homed inside in her piece bathing in a beach. (Note, nevertheless, that a genuineness one pictures has non been confirmed, & a British tabloids come every now and again known to adhere extra to the previous section of the Editor's Dictum to "get it first, get it right" than a latter).
When a immature member of a band, Andrea joined it directly from either school, non with the risk to enter a flat of her have until the age of twenty-25. She has confessed to the distinctive habit of sucking her thumb for reassurance, & for recreation enjoys cooking, reading & running for walks.
