Hilary Duff

Hilary Duff has admitted that she would give up pop music to further her acting career.

The 19-year-old has sold 13 million albums and starred in a number of successful films, including Cheaper By The Dozen and A Cinderella Story.

When asked whether she would give up pop music to earn a top film role, she told the NME: "'Yes I would. I don't think that could ever happen though. I don't think anyone would ever say, 'If I give this to you, young grasshopper, you will have to stop this singing.'

"But if I had to choose between the two it would definitely be acting."
