Kelly Clarkson Apologizes for 'Terrified' Rookie Cameo

Kelly Clarkson has publicly apologized to the cast and crew of 'The Rookie' following her cameo in the show's fifth season, revealing she felt 'terrified' during the experience. In a recent Q&A on her talk show, she expressed her admiration for Nathan Fillion, stating that her nerves escalated while working alongside him, making her feel like 'an idiot' on set. Clarkson, who appeared as a version of herself in the episode 'Death Notice,' admitted that the reality of acting was more daunting than she anticipated. Although she mentioned a desire to appear on 'Only Murders in the Building,' she quickly reconsidered, acknowledging the high standards of that show and reiterating that she prefers to remain a fan rather than pursue acting roles. The singer's unexpected nerves during filming underscored her respect for the craft and the professionals involved. Clarkson's cameo was a result of a surprise offer from the show's cast during her birthday celebrations in 2022.
