Avril Lavigne is making a movie about her song ‘Sk8er Boi’ and the musician said she has just found the movie’s director.
Avril Lavigne recently sat down with Variety to talk about the 20th anniversary of Let Go, her new album Love Sux, and the upcoming movie that will be based on the song ‘Sk8er Boi.’ During the interview, Lavigne said that a writer/director is now attached to the project and also that many of her musician friends will be making cameos.
Lavigne still remains tight-lipped on giving further details but one can only imagine what the movie will be about. In addition to talking about her upcoming film, Avril talked about the 20th anniversary of her album Let Go and receiving her own star on Hollywood Boulevard.
“It’s a bit of a full-circle moment for me because this is where I made my album,” Lavigne told Variety in advance of receiving her own star on the Walk of Fame on Aug. 31. “My first time coming to L.A., that’s what I did. I walked down the strip and checked out stars. I took a picture, and I can’t remember [which star] it’s with, but I’m wearing a sweatshirt that says ‘skateboarding is not a crime.’”
The album that ‘Sk8er Boi’ was featured on Let Go recently celebrated its 20th year anniversary, which Lavigne posted about on Instagram.
“20 years later! This was another magical moment for me returning to the exact location of where I shot my debut album cover “Let Go” yesterday in New York City right before we played Madison Square Garden! Happy 20th anniversary “Let Go.” And thank you to all of my incredibly amazing and supportive fans that have shown me so much love over all these years.”
Lavigne continued to talk about Let Go and how she came up with many of the songs on the album.

“[‘Let Go’] was a lot of great songs that I’d written from my perspective as a teenager fresh out of high school,” she says. “Going through having crushes and boyfriends for the first time and experiencing all that – it was relatable.”
“Everything I was doing, I was just a real-ass bitch,” Lavigne says. “Nothing was ever too thought out or calculated. I was pretty innocent and naive as to what was even happening around me. And so when I look back and think, ‘Oh, wow, so many people connected with it,’ it’s because I was so normal and me. It would have been really easy for a record label to be like, ‘We’re going to curl your hair, we’re going to put you in these teeny bopper outfits to look sexy’ or whatever. And I was just wearing baggy clothes. I think it made it so it was really about the music.”
