Celebs Share Dumb Reasons They Were Rejected For A Role
In a 2015 interview, Zoë Kravitz revealed that she auditioned for a part in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises, but was told she was "too urban" for the role. Zoë Kravitz talked about auditioning for a small role in The Dark Knight Rises in a 2015 interview with Nylon, revealing how she wasn't even allowed in the auditioning room because the role wasn't "going urban." While Kravitz didn't disclose which part she was initially denied for, she said, "Being a woman of color and being an actor and being told at that time that I wasn't able to read because of the color of my skin, and the word urban being thrown around like that, that was what was really hard about that moment.' Years later, Kravitz would go on to secure the role of Selina Kyle in the 2019 film, The Batman. Upon receiving the news, she explained how she'd never gotten so much online attention and was thrilled to step into the world of Batman and bring a new interpretation to the iconic role of Catwoman. Maggie Gyllenhaal shared that she was told by a Hollywood producer she was simply "too old" to play the love interest opposite a 55-year-old man, despite being 37 at the time. During an interview with The Wrap, Gyllenhaal explained how she was denied a role for her apparent "old" age, although she was much younger than her male counterpart at the time of the audition. She said, "I'm 37 and I was told recently I was too old to play the lover of a man who was 55. It was astonishing to me. It made me feel bad, and then it made feel angry, and then it made me laugh." She went on to disclose her distaste for Hollywood's unequal gender treatment, pointing out the need for fair representation for women onscreen. She also spoke on the objective of casting "younger" women in Hollywood, a notion that's been notoriously present since its Golden Age, sharing how it needs to allow more inclusivity of women in all age ranges. Scarlett Johansson was told she was essentially "too sexy" for the lead role in David Fincher's adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. After auditioning for the lead role of Lisbeth Salander in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, rumors began circling that Johansson lost the role to Rooney Mara for being "too distracting" for audiences to successfully play the part. While Scarlett has gone on to say that wasn't the exact reason for director David Fincher denying her the part, the situation remains a little unclear. Johansson claimed, "I remember having conversations with Fincher and he said, 'You have to look like you're totally uncaring of yourself, fragile...' I said, 'I will, I can be this person!' And he said 'No, you can't.'" However, Fincher contradictorily stated that despite her giving a great audition, "The thing with Scarlett is, you can't wait for her to take her clothes off." Tiffany Haddish revealed how she used to "secretly" record auditions by leaving her purse behind so she could hear why she was rejected for certain roles, some of which claimed, "She's so ghetto." Tiffany Haddish used to "accidentally" audition in rooms with her voice memos app recording to see what casting directors really thought of her. Among the many harmful, ridiculous comments, Haddish explained how she'd hear things like "She is not as urban as I thought she would be," "She's so ghetto, I just can't," "Her boobs aren't big enough," and, "I really think we should just go with a white girl. This role should be changed to white." While never explicitly stating how many rooms she'd done this in, Haddish explained how she'd learned quite quickly what casting directors really thought of her and how she'd used that tactic numerous times over the years. Regé-Jean Page shared how he was denied the role of Superman's grandfather in the Syfy series Krypton due to his skin color. After being asked to come in and audition for the role of Superman's grandfather in a new Krypton series, Page disclosed how he wasn't cast because show executive Geoff Johns claimed, "Superman couldn't have a black grandfather." He found out later that the villain in Man of Steel, played by Michael Shannon, to which Krypton was allegedly a prequel to, was replaced by a Black actor in the Krypton series. Page hopped onto Twitter, stating, "Hearing about these conversations hurts no less now than it did back then," and "The clarifications almost hurt more tbh. Still just doing my thing. Still we do the work." Mindy Kaling recalled an audition where she was rejected for not being "attractive enough" to play herself on a sketch show. Mindy Kaling revealed that she auditioned to play herself on a TV network sketch show, but was ultimately denied the part for not being "pretty" or "funny" enough in a 2014 interview with The Guardian. She stated that among herself and other participants, "We were not considered attractive or funny enough to play ourselves." Kaling recalled the situation to be deeply "humiliating," but has since come to ignore comments about her appearance, continuing on in her highly successful writing and acting career. Elle Fanning explained the truly "disgusting" reason she lost out on a role at age 16, and recently, she was rejected for "not having enough Instagram followers." In the first instance, Fanning mentioned in a roundtable interview with The Hollywood Reporter how she auditioned for the role of the daughter in a father-daughter comedy, but stated that someone said, "Oh, she didn't get the father-daughter road trip comedy because she's unfuckable." Fanning recalled the comments to be "so disgusting," adding, "I can laugh at it now, like, 'What a disgusting pig!" However, in 2023, Fanning faced a similar experience after losing out on a part in a franchise series for her alleged social media presence, or lack thereof. She explained, "I didn't get a part once for something big — and it might not have just been this reason, but this was all the feedback that I heard — because I didn't have enough Instagram followers at the time." Nia Long revealed she was passed over for a lead role in the 2000 Charlie's Angels film for being "too old" and "too sophisticated." Nia Long originally auditioned for the role of investigator Alex Munday for the film, but lost the role to Lucy Liu because she would appear "too old" and "too sophisticated" to star alongside one of the other leads, Drew Barrymore. Despite being only four years older than Barrymore, Long stated, "I think that was just a nice way to say you're a little too Black." She added, "Personally, that's what I think. Because if you notice, there were no brown skin [actors]. I mean, honestly, I would have been the blackest thing in the film." In addition, not only was she deemed too old for the role, Lucy Liu ended up starring alongside Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz, despite ironically being two years older than Long. Priyanka Chopra shared that she lost out on a movie role for being "too ethnic." While she never explicitly shared for which role or movie, Chopra explained how she lost out on a huge movie role due to her ethnicity as an Indian woman while speaking as a guest of honor at the TIFF Soirée in 2017. She went on to share, "First of all, everyone has an ethnicity. Even Caucasian is an ethnicity. But I was 'too ethnic' for the part and it was a mainstream American part," revealing the immense discrimination she's faced in the American film and television industry. Winona Ryder was told she lost out on a role because she was "too Jewish," and was told separately that she "wasn't attractive enough" to be a star in the '80s by a casting director. In an interview with The Sunday Times, Winona Ryder shared how she was overlooked for a part because of her Jewish identity. She explained, "There are times when people have said, 'Wait, you're Jewish? But you're so pretty!' There was a movie that I was up for a long time ago, it was a period piece, and the studio head, who was Jewish, said I looked 'too Jewish' to be in a blue-blooded family." Ryder didn't share which film, but went on to discuss other antisemitic remarks she's faced in Hollywood as a Jewish actor. In a recent Sad Happy Confused episode, Ryder revealed how she was told by a casting director mid-audition, "You should not be an actress. You are not pretty enough. You should go back to wherever you came from and you should go to school. You don't have it." Meryl Streep revealed she was rejected from a big role in the 1976 King Kong remake because she was "too ugly." Meryl Streep revealed on The Graham Norton Show in 2015 that she was denied a major role in the Hollywood King Kong remake due to her appearance. She explained how she'd met the director's son after he'd seen her in a play. After bringing her to meet his father, she shared, "I walked in and his son was sitting there, very excited that he'd brought in this new actress. And the father said to his son in Italian, because I understand Italian, he said, 'che brutta', you know, 'why do you bring me this ugly thing?'" Catherine Zeta-Jones explained that she lost out on the main role in the theatrical play, Aspects of Love, for being "too old" at the age of 19. Catherine Zeta-Jones was denied the leading role in Andrew Lloyd Weber's play, Aspects of Love, for apparently being "too old" for the part when she was just 19, despite the role specifications being for a 20-year-old. Zeta-Jones explained that Lloyd Weber and the director of the play, Trevor Nunn, told her she was "just a little bit too old and a little bit too pretty." At the time, Zeta-Jones recalls telling Nunn, "I wasn't even 20 and I remember telling him I could be as not pretty or as not old as he wanted, but it didn't do any good." Similarly, Olivia Wilde was also told she was "too old" to play opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street, despite being only 29. Olivia Wilde had auditioned for the role of Naomi in The Wolf of Wall Street, but claimed she was told she was "too sophisticated," for the part. Later, Wilde discovered that meant code for "too old." The part of Naomi eventually went to 22-year-old Margot Robbie. However, Wilde did go on to discuss how agents in Hollywood should be more upfront about the reasons for rejections in the future, stating, "I want to make a translation sheet for Hollywood that's all the feedback your agents give you and what it really means.' James McAvoy shared that he's lost many roles due to his 5'7" height making him "too short" for certain parts. While discussing some of his struggles as an actor in an interview with Telegraph, McAvoy shared, "As a shorter man, I sometimes get told I'm too short for a role. Or even when I get a role, I'm made to feel like, well, of course, we're going to have to do something about that… because nobody would believe [the character] would be with someone like her." He spoke about a time on set when an female actor claimed he was "too short" to ever play opposite of her in a film, however, he did not reveal any names or projects. Lastly, Reese Witherspoon stated she's lost various roles due to the fact that she's "too smart" for certain parts, among other ridiculous reasons. Witherspoon told Harper's Bazaar that she'd once been declined for a role because she was simply "too smart" to play a female heroine in a movie. She went on to say how for Hollywood roles, "I was always considered TOO something. Too short. Too feisty. Too energetic. I once got told I seemed too smart to play a young female character." However, Witherspoon has a fairly optimistic approach and mindset, explaining, "Sometimes the universe is protecting you from a bad job or a toxic relationship," she said. "So remember next time you fail at something or someone leaves you heartbroken... let yourself be sad, grieve what didn't happen for a minute but move ON. Better things are waiting for you."

Bruises, Threats And Obama-Shaped MDMA: 7 Shocking Revelations From Diddy's Trial
Sean 'Diddy' Combs' sex trafficking and racketeering trial is well underway, with witnesses painting a picture of a violent and controlling Combs. Federal prosecutors in Manhattan have accused the media mogul of using his money and prestige to run a criminal enterprise since at least 2004. He was indicted on five federal charges: one count of racketeering conspiracy, two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. Combs' apparent downfall comes after his ex, R&B singer Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura filed a damning lawsuit against him in November 2023. The lawsuit was settled quickly and quietly the following day, but additional accusers came forward alleging that Combs had abused and/or sexually violated them. Some of the accusers were minors at the time of the alleged events. He has denied the allegations against him and pleaded not guilty to the charges. He also rejected a plea deal shortly before the trial started. Combs' attorneys have attempted to downplay the case against him as an attempt to bring down a thriving Black man. In the months that followed, federal authorities raided his homes in Los Angeles and Miami, and CNN released a video showing Combs attacking Ventura in the hallway of a Los Angeles hotel in 2016. Combs, who was once celebrated as a beacon of Black male success, has been held at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center since his arrest in September. The trial, which is not being televised or recorded, is expected to last around two months. Jury selection began on May 5. Opening statements occurred the following Monday. Many of the witnesses who have taken the stand essentially described Combs as evil. Kid Cudi called him a 'marvel supervillain;' Ventura said his 'eyes [would] go black;' and Bryana Bongolan, a friend to Ventura, said he called himself the 'devil.' If convicted, Combs could spend the rest of his life in jail. Here's a look at some of the most explosive and jarring moments from the trial. 'There was a line of questioning where your client was nodding vigorously and looking at the jury,' Judge Arun Subramanian told Combs' attorneys on June 5, according to NBC News. 'There should be no efforts to have any interactions with this jury.' The nodding the judge referred to came while Bongolan was on the stand. The judge said that Combs would be removed from the courtroom if he continued. Combs' lead attorney Marc Agnifilo told the judge that the interaction is 'not going to happen again.' 'This cannot happen again,' Subramanian reiterated. A pregnant Ventura took the stand for about a week at the beginning of the trial. At one point, she described what Combs called 'freak-offs.' 'It basically entails the hiring of an escort and setting up this experience so that I could perform for Sean,' Ventura said. The freak-offs allowed for Combs to 'watch me with the other person and actually direct us on what we were doing,' she added. 'Eventually it became a job for me, pretty much,' she claimed, adding that she had to personally reach out to the male escorts and had to participate in the freak-offs even if she was menstruating. She also claimed that he recorded the performances and used them as blackmail against her. Ventura described Combs during sexual encounters: 'His eyes go black. The version of him I was in love with was no longer there,' she said, according to The New York Times. Ventura also discussed being physically abused by Combs. Prosecutors showed the jury images of Ventura's injuries. Some of those images included bruises on her face, back and thigh, and a gash on her eyebrow, USA Today reported. Within two weeks of testifying, Ventura gave birth to her third child with her husband, Alex Fine. Kid Cudi, born Scott Mescudi, briefly dated Ventura in 2011. Mescudi testified on May 22 that Combs broke into his home when he was with Ventura and that he believes he set his luxury vehicle on fire with a Molotov cocktail. 'I'm going to be very candid,' Mescudi said while describing the break-in, according to Rolling Stone. 'I was like, 'Motherfucker, are you in my house?' And he said, 'I just want to talk to you.' I was like, 'I'm on my way over right now.' He was like, 'I'm here.'' But Mescudi did not find Combs when he arrived. He did, however, find that his dog was locked in a bathroom and that Christmas presents had been opened. He said Combs wanted to talk to him, but Mescudi said he responded by telling him, 'You broke into my house. You messed with my dog... Like, I don't want to talk to you.' Mescudi and Ventura stopped seeing each other in late December of 2011. 'The drama, it was just getting out of hand,' Mescudi testified. 'I kind of wanted to give her some space … for my safety, for her safety…' He also told the courtroom that he believed Ventura was 'playing' both him and Combs. Combs' former personal assistant from 2007 to 2009, David James, testified on May 19 that he personally acquired drugs for Combs before. James claimed that Combs used to take opiates during the day and ecstasy at night, according to CNN. Some of the ecstasy pills were shaped like former President Barack Obama, according to James. James also described Combs' drug use in more depth, including informing the jury of a 'medicine bag' that Combs brought around with him, according to Business Insider. 'There were probably 25 to 30 different pillboxes or pill bottles,' James said, according to BI. 'Some were like Advil, Tylenol. He had water pills to help him lose weight. He had Viagra in there. He had some pills that helped increase his sperm count, for example.' 'He did have ecstasy and Percocets in there, as well,' James added. Former member of the music groups Danity Kane and Diddy—Dirty Money, Dawn Richard, testified on May 16 that Combs compelled people in his orbit to stay quiet because 'where he comes from, people who say something can end up missing.' Richard described watching Combs beat Ventura when she took too long to cook his dinner, Business Insider reported. 'He took the skillet with the eggs in it and tried to hit her in the head, and she fell to the ground,' Richard testified. The next day, Combs told Richard and Ventura that 'what we saw was passion, and it was what lovers in a relationship do.' He also told them 'he was trying to take us to the top, and that, where he comes from, people go missing if they say things like that, like, if people talk. And then he gave us flowers,' according to Business Insider's report. Richard filed her own lawsuit against Combs in September 2024. She accused him of sexual assault, retaliation, threatening to end her life and refusing to pay her. Capricorn Clark had an on-and-off working relationship with Combs between 2004 and 2018, at one point working as his former assistant and as the marketing head for Sean Jean at another. She testified on May 27 that Combs kidnapped her at gunpoint in 2011 to kill Mescudi when he learned that Ventura was dating him. According to Clark, Combs came to her home in the early morning with a gun out, told her to get dressed, and said, 'We're going to go kill [Mescudi],' according to NPR. They went inside of Mescudi's house while he was not home, which Mescudi described in his own testimony. Clark claimed that Combs threatened to kill her if she informed the authorities. In a separate instance, Clark said Combs locked her in a building in Manhattan and subjected her to numerous lie detector tests when some of his jewelry went missing, NPR also reported. She said the man testing her told her that she would be 'thrown into the East River' if she failed. 'I was petrified,' Clark said. Mia, the pseudonym for a former assistant for Combs who he tasked with keeping an eye on Ventura, while taking the stand on May 29, described an instance in which Combs attacked Ventura at Prince's house in 2011 or 2012, according to The New York Times. 'Cass and I debated like little kids if we should sneak out of the house,' Mia reportedly said. But Combs showed up at the party. 'Oh, crap,' Mia recalled thinking when she saw her then-boss. 'Me and Cass just booked it.' When Combs caught them, he beat Cassie until a security guard for Prince interfered, according to USA Today. Mia claimed she was fired the next day for 'being insubordinate.' While on the stand, she also testified that Combs sexually assaulted her on more than one occasion. 'I couldn't tell him no about a sandwich — I couldn't tell him no about anything,' she said, according to the Times. 'There was no way I could tell him no, because then he would know that I thought what he was doing was wrong and then I would be a target.' Need help?
