Singer and actress Demi Lovato has confessed that she feels “so insecure” about returning to acting after spending years away from the craft.
The 33-year-old star, who first rose to fame through roles in Barney & Friends, Camp Rock, Sonny with a Chance, and Princess Protection Program, has primarily focused on her music career in recent years.
Demi Lovato — who uses both she/her and they/them pronouns — made a return to acting last year in the independent drama Tow, where she played a homeless shelter resident named Nova. While she enjoyed the experience, the singer revealed she feels hesitant about fully diving back into acting.
“I’m like so insecure as an actress,” Demi confessed on the Las Culturistas podcast. “I took a break for so long from acting that I’m like scared to get back into it. I’ve had offers and I have acted — I did an independent film called Tow last year and then it came out at Tribeca Film Festival this year. It was a small role, I dipped my toes back into acting, and I had a lot of fun with it.”
She added,
“It’s something that I think I want to do but… I feel like I need to do acting lessons or something.”
Tow, which also stars Rose Byrne, Octavia Spencer, and Ariana DeBose, premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in June and is expected to be released in 2026.
Despite her renewed acting interest, Demi Lovato remains focused on her music career, having recently released her ninth studio album, It’s Not That Deep. She is also set to embark on a North American tour in April and May 2026.
