Carrie's acting debut in Soul Surfer
NASHVILLE, Tennessee (AP) — Carrie Underwood says she’s happy with her first acting performance on the big screen.
The country music star plays a small but pivotal role in the film Soul Surfer, the inspirational tale of shark attack survivor Bethany Hamilton.
“I’m happy with myself for the role and for the movie,” Underwood said recently in Las Vegas where she had just wrapped up taping ACM Presents Girls’ Night Out: Superstar Women of Country. “Am I going to win an Oscar? No. It was so much fun and the important thing is getting the story out there.”
Underwood plays youth pastor Sarah Hill, a key figure in Hamilton’s life. Hamilton, then 13, lost her left arm when a 14-foot tiger shark ripped it off while she was surfing with friends in Hawaii.
Soul Surfer is the tale of her recovery and triumphant return to the sport she loves.
