Jason Derulo admits he had incredibly high hopes for 2019's Cats. (Cue the collective LOL.)

The 30-year-old singer/actor was among the ensemble cast for the widely panned film, which was a live-action remake of Andrew Lloyd Webber's hit Broadway musical. Derulo, who took on the role of Rum Tum Tugger, told the Telegraph he initially believed Cats was the perfect film to mark his big-screen debut because it "checked all the boxes."
