Famous rock singer headed to Y&R?

Billie Joe Armstrong, lead singer from the band Green Day, says he dreams of acting on The Young and the Restless. Will he soon be seen in Genoa City?

Green Day frontman got soap opera fans in a tizzy when he started making cryptic posts about The Young and the Restless on social media earlier this spring, and he's now sharing that he dreams of joining the CBS soap opera.

During a recent appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden, Armstrong confessed that he'd love to get more into acting and can see himself heading to Y&R's Genoa City or joining another soap opera.

"I like to think of myself as a pretty decent B-movie actor," he said. "I have a thing I wanna do -- and this is not B-movie -- things like The Young and the Restless, or do a soap opera."

Corden responded by saying that he and the The Late Late Show crew have connections at the CBS soap opera and could make some calls on Armstrong's behalf -- if he were serious.

"I'm dead serious," the singer shared. "Let's do it!"
