While she’s no stranger to getting physical, we can’t help but wonder what Australian pop star and actress Olivia Newton-John knows about hockey.
Nonetheless, she’s starring in a new Canadian musical film that will begun production next week in Toronto, according a story in the National Post.
“Score: A Hockey Musical,” has every indication of being a sort of reverse “Billy Elliott.” Newton-John is set to play a hippie-intellectual mom who homeschools her son (newcomer Noah Reid), feeds him organic food, takes him to the art gallery and becomes dismayed when he reveals a love for hockey, and turns out to be exceedingly good at it, the National Post reports.
The world of movie musicals is obviously nothing new to Newton-John, who has “Grease” and “Xanadu” to her credit. She’ll also be appearing with Calgary’s Cory Monteith on “Glee” in the spring,
The movie is set to come out in Canada in October.
