Speaking on Magic Radio with Tom Price, the actor admitted: “Well I don’t really like singing.

“I think hearing yourself sing and especially during the recording process, hearing myself sing without the music playing as well at times, to kind of hear whether I hit a note or not, was the most horrific thing that’s ever happened to me.

“I am not a fan of also watching myself either,” the actor went on to admit.

“So not only watching myself but also listening to myself sing obnoxiously high notes was too much for me.”

The drama follows Daisy as she joins the legendary 1970s rock band The Six, to create a one-of-a-kind album.

However, they unexpectedly disbanded after a sold-out show at Chicago’s Soldier Field.

The show sheds light on the complicated lives of the band members as they struggle to come to terms with fame.

Daisy Jones and The Six is told in a documentary style which switches back and forwards in time as each band member shares their perspective.

As they speak about their time in the band, they will also reveal what they believe contributed to the band’s demise.

The synopsis for the drama reads: “Based on the best-selling novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid, Daisy Jones & The Six is a limited musical-drama series detailing the rise and precipitous fall of a renowned rock band.
