Sean McGuire hated his pop career

Former pop star Sean McGuire tells Metro he felt humiliated and depressed during his nineties pop career, which followed 'Grange Hill' and 'EastEnders'.

Poor Sean McGuire has said that he didn't enjoy his pop career much. You know Sean McGuire. He released two albums and had eight top 40 hits in the nineties after his rise to fame via 'Grange Hill' and 'Eastenders'.

He told Metro: "I've had every kind of humiliation, from playing in Gala Bingo halls to doing a PA in a Glaswegian nightclub and having cans of lager thrown at me. I was pretty depressed. I felt I'd sold out. Like most of the country at that time I loved Blur and Oasis but was on stage singing: 'I want to hold your hand and kiss you, woo woo woo'. I felt like an idiot. People would come up to me on the street every single day and say: 'You're crap'."

Anyway, don't lose sleep over him. He's doing pretty well with his acting career in the US these days, and stars in recently released new movie 'Meet The Spartans'.
