The 27-year-old intends to follow in ex-husband Russell Brand's footsteps and appear on-screen portraying different characters, reported Daily Star.
The 'California Gurls' singer is secretly taking acting lessons in the hope of landing a sitcom role.
"Despite her pop success she knows her music career won't last forever. And as she found out with Russell, all that touring isn't good for maintaining a relationship. She'd love to be in a sit-com," a source said.
Perry split from 37-year-old Brand in December and has since been coached in serious drama and comic acting.
