Miley Cyrus is plotting her return to acting as she would love to star in a 'good old Shakespearean tragedy'

Miley Cyrus is plotting her return to acting as she would love to star in a "good old Shakespearean tragedy".

The pop singer rose to fame as a child actress - fronting teen sitcom Hannah Montana and it's movie spin-off - while she's also appeared in films including The Last Song, LOL and So Undercover. Miley has been focusing on music in recent years but she's hoping to return to the big screen and already has ideas.

In an interview with Splash star Daryl Hannah for Wonderland magazine, Miley was asked about her acting ambitions and she said: "Well …That’s partly why I wanted to get in touch. I’d genuinely love to do both.

"My dream has always been to work with artists I admire, and you’re one of them. I think we’d make magic together, Daryl. I have an idea. Call me."

Later in the piece, Miley opened up about her ideas for her future acting projects revealing she would love to tackle a movie based around a play by William Shakespeare.

She said: "Violence is everywhere, and there’s a beauty in darkness, but I’d love to disappear into something deeply romantic.

"The kind of love we dream about, but with real stakes. A good old Shakespearean tragedy would be hot – a punk-rock Juliet. Something fierce and heartbreakingly romantic."
