Junior Andre makes acting debut alongside dad Peter after revealing his secret job
The son of Katie Price and Peter Andre, Junior Andre, has made his acting debut, playing a schoolboy in a coming-of-age drama.
Finding My Voice is a film about a young girl who feels like she has ‘nowhere to go’ after her family is broken up due to alcoholism, following the death of her baby brother.
Junior stars as Johnny, a schoolfriend to the lead, in the music film and his character is described as ‘one of the few people who’s always there when she needs someone to believe in her’.
Peter, Junior’s dad, also features, as does EastEnders’ Michelle Ryan.
In the trailer, Junior can be heard asking lead Mel (Anais Garnes): ‘You’re meant for something bigger, I know you know that too.’
The story follows her journey through the care system while she tries to make it as a music artist.
At the end of this month, Finding My Voice will host its first screening as part of Manchester Film Festival, according to its Instagram page.
In a carousel posted yesterday, the film introduced followers to Junior’s character, Johnny.
The 20-year-old collaborated with the post and received support from his loved ones.
Dad Peter commented: ‘Yea my son 🔥🔥🔥.’
And Junior’s girlfriend, Jasmine Orr, wrote in capitals: ‘CANT WAIT FOR THIS🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽.’
Just days ago, Junior shared that he had secretly been working for the London underground at night, ‘grafting, lifting heavy metals, cutting, filing, painting.’
He told viewers in an episode of his sister’s reality TV show, The Princess Diaries: ‘You actually have to pay to do music. People don’t really know that.
‘I live off myself, I don’t live off Mum and Dad – that’s what people think, that we do.’
Junior’s music career started when he signed a deal with Columbia Records in 2021. In 2022 he released a single that soared up the charts, initially surpassing artists like Harry Styles and Lady Gaga – Slide went viral on TikTok.
He went on to secure himself some decent sized gigs, including supporting artist Hrvy at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire.
The sibling duo may be following in the footsteps of their parents but they don’t like being called ‘nepos’.
‘People don’t know that you worked a nine-to-five,’ said Princess in her TV show.
Their dad Peter created a memorable track for many in the nineties with his hit song, Mysterious Girl, .
Since then, he’s gone on to act in film and TV – controversially putting on dreadlocks and a fake Jamaican accent for a role in the film Jafaican.
More recently, he has starred in The Sunshine Murders on Channel 5, acting alongside soap star Stephanie Beacham.
Mum Katie has continued to make TV documenting her life and recently married Lee Andrews in Dubai after a whirlwind romance.
Finding My Voice will be screening at Odeon Great Northern, Manchester on Saturday 28 March at 2:40pm.
