Taylor Kitsch Pooped Himself Before Audition
During a recent interview on The Today Show with Jenna & Friends, Taylor Kitsch — who's currently doing press for The Terminal List: Dark Wolf — revealed that he once pooped himself before an audition. Yes, you read that right.
Take it away, Taylor: 'I was in L.A. living out of my car and I would get all these crazy auditions, like four in a day, and I needed a strong coffee,' he explained. 'And I'm having it driving to the audition." Not a good start, I gotta say!
"I'm sitting in the waiting room just like this, and I shit myself. No joke. And the bathroom door is right there. And I'm like, 'Oh my God.''
Nevertheless, he persisted! 'I threw my underwear in the garbage can, came back out and waited — and did not get the job,' he revealed.
What a journey. Watch the entire interview here.

What Is Jenna Ortega's Net Worth and 'Wednesday' Salary?
Considering Wednesday is one of Netflix's most popular shows literally ever (already binged the first four episodes of season 2, hbu?), Jenna Ortega should be worth millions. is! At just 22 years old, Jenna has multiple millions of dollars sitting in her bank account—not exactly shocking because, while the rest of us were struggling to get through algebra (STILL waiting for math to be useful IRL), she was out here making money. Time to dig into Jenna's net worth, MUCH LIKE THING DUG HIS WAY INTO MY HEART 😍. Tragically, this information isn't publicly confirmed, but there is info out there about what Netflix pays its stars in general. Let's use Stranger Things as an example, since it's also a series that blew up after its first season. According to Deadline, the core cast of kids made around $30,000 an episode during Stranger Things seasons 1 and 2. Of course, they were largely unknown at the time, while Jenna has a buncha credits to her name—so it seems safe to assume she made north of that amount. More significant is Jenna's potential salary going forward now that Wednesday has established itself as one of Netflix's most profitable and popular shows. The cast of Stranger Things negotiated their salaries ahead of season 3, when they started earning $250,000 an episode (or ~$2 million per season). SoOoOOoOOOo, yeah, Jenna likely got a major raise as well. With a $100 million budget, you'd guess that Jenna got paid preeeetty well for the highly-anticipated sequel flick—and you would be right! Rumor has it that she earned $750K for her role as Astrid Deetz, which is not too shabby, if you ask me. Jenna went from having a modest following to gaining 10 million new Instagram followers in just 10 days upon the release of Wednesday season 1. PopCrave charted the growth rate of her account, and as you can see, she had 9.39 million followers on the day Wednesday premiered and 20-ish million followers 10 days later. (For what it's worth, Jenna has nearly 40 million followers at the time of this story's publication). As for her per-post pay? There's some reporting that Jenna has to ability to earn more than $78,000 per sponsored post, but at the rate her following is growing, that number is probably already out of means she's probs making *a lot* of moolah as the brand ambassador for Adidas, Christian Dior, and Neutrogena, among tons of other brands. Oh, and FYI, Jenna had this to say about her approach to Insta in a November 2022 interview with The Face: "I have to look at my social media as a business platform because I think it's unhealthy for everyone involved. I'd hate to be married to it. I don't want to be worried about what I look like on there, or how people perceive me on there. It's just work! It's just work posts. I'll talk about whatever and then people can look at me as an actor, not an influencer, and I can focus on that." According to Celebrity Net Worth, that'd be $5 million, which is up a whopping $2 million (!!) since 2022. But due to Jenna being relatively new to the A++ list, there isn't a ton of information about how she made that money—i.e. what she's earned per project. But just check out her resume; Jenna's had roles on everything from Scream and Scream VI to Death of a Unicorn to Sabrina Carpenter's "Taste" music video. Gonna assume she gets paid pretty well!

30 Celebs Who Are Known Best By Their First "Big Role"
You know how some people peak in high school? Well, these actors hit it so hard with their very first role, they basically set the bar too high for themselves. Even if they went on to have long, successful careers, there's one character we'll always associate them with — and honestly, nothing else has ever quite topped it. Like, seriously — how could Elijah Wood ever not be Frodo Baggins in our minds? That role is etched in pop culture forever. So let's take a look at some of our favourite A-list stars and the iconic breakout roles that launched them so high, they've basically spent their whole careers trying not to come down. Here we go... Hugh Jackman — Wolverine in X-Men Hugh Jackman became a household name with the launch of the X-Men franchise in 2000. And while he's delivered plenty of iconic performances since — The Greatest Showman, Les Misérables, Prisoners — let's be real: When you hear 'Hugh Jackman,' you think Wolverine. Honestly, it's hard to watch him on a late-night show without half-expecting him to pop those claws. Bruce Willis — John McClane in Die Hard Bruce Willis broke out in the late '80s thanks to Die Hard — and while he's racked up more than 100 film credits since, he'll always be best known as John McClane. And that line? Unforgettable: 'Yippee ki-yay, motherf***er.' Noah Centineo — Peter in To All The Boys I've Loved Before Noah Centineo's career is still just getting started, but for now, he's best known for the role that put him on the map — Peter in To All the Boys I've Loved Before. Even if he pivots to totally different genres, it's hard to picture him as anything but the sweet, charming guy waiting by the lockers. David Schwimmer — Ross Geller in Friends Saying David Schwimmer nailed it on his first big try is kind of an understatement. Being one of the leads on a decade-defining, wildly beloved sitcom like Friends? That's a tough act to follow. And sure, he voiced the iconic Melman in Madagascar — but you can't look at him without immediately seeing Ross Geller. Anna Kendrick — Beca in Pitch Perfect Anna Kendrick is a multi-talented woman. She can sing, she can dance, and she proved it in her breakthrough performance as Beca in Pitch Perfect. And while she's built an impressively wide-ranging career, she's still best known for that movie — and yep, that cup song. Rupert Grint — Ron Weasley in Harry Potter They say it's hard to separate yourself from a franchise — and Rupert Grint is proof. He's taken on new roles since Harry Potter, like in Servant, but he'll always be Ron Weasley. Rat and all. Tobey Maguire — Peter Parker in Spider-man Tobey Maguire has stepped out of the red suit for standout roles in films like The Great Gatsby and Brothers, but let's be honest — when you think of his career, you think Spider-Man. Miley Cyrus — Hannah Montana in Hannah Montana Miley Cyrus has been shaking things up with her music for years, but she got her start as the one and only Hannah Montana. And while she's put serious effort into moving beyond the Disney roots that made her famous, she still racks up the most screen credits as that pop-star alter ego. Sean Connery — James Bond in James Bond Sean Connery went from humble beginnings to landing a franchise right out of the gate. And while he's a fan favourite in Indiana Jones, it was his first turn as James Bond that truly defined his career. The only real question is: Did Sean Connery give Bond the voice — or did Bond give it to him? Kristen Stewart — Bella Swan in Twilight Kristen Stewart had been around for a while, but everything changed when she became Bella Swan in the Twilight saga. In 2008, she was Bella — and Bella was everywhere. And even though she's taken on tons of impressive roles since, that breakout moment was lightning in a bottle. John Krasinski — Jim Halpert in The Office John Krasinski nearly walked away from acting before landing the role of a lifetime: Jim Halpert on The Office. And what a first big swing it was. To this day, it's hard not to picture him as the charming, goofy guy with a thing for the receptionist. Chris Hemsworth — Thor in Thor The Hemsworth brothers have been blessing our screens for years, but Chris's career-defining role was the one that launched him into full-blown stardom. Joining the Marvel universe is never a bad move — and let's be real, Chris is Thor now. Cue me throwing a hammer across the living room. Vanessa Hudgens — Gabriella Montez in High School Musical Vanessa Hudgens started young — and honestly, it's hard to top High School Musical as a breakout role. Sure, she's been the queen of Netflix holiday movies in recent years, but in our hearts, she'll always be Gabriella Montez. Then again... maybe one day she will be breaking free. Julia Roberts — Vivian Ward in Pretty Woman Julia Roberts has a stacked filmography, from Erin Brockovich to Eat, Pray, Love; she's proven time and again that she's got serious range. But let's be real: You can't say her name without instantly thinking of Pretty Woman, the film that made her a star. Kit Harrington — Jon Snow in Game of Thrones Kit Harrington had a very impressive lucky strike when he got the role of Jon Snow within the first few years of his career. Now, he'll forever be remembered as the brooding hero of Game of Thrones. Al Pacino — Michael Corleone in The Godfather Al Pacino's had a long, legendary run, but everything changed in 1972 when he stepped into the role of Michael Corleone in The Godfather. Even with iconic turns in Scarface and beyond, nothing quite tops that first big role. John Travolta — Danny Zuko in Grease I know what you're thinking. And yes, John Travolta was iconic in Hairspray. Totally agree. But when it comes to career-defining roles that stick with you since day one, he hit the jackpot early as Danny Zuko in Grease. That performance? It got me saying, "I got chills, they're multiplying. It's electrifying!!" Sigourney Weaver — Ellen Ripley in Alien Gen Z might know Sigourney Weaver best from Avatar, but her real claim to fame goes way back to the late '70s. She was Ellen Ripley in Alien, and no amount of blue paint can outshine that legacy. Arnold Schwarzenegger — Terminator in The Terminator Arnold Schwarzenegger may have taken a detour into politics, but his first major acting role — The Terminator — was a total jackpot. No matter what else he's done since, all we hear is: 'I'll be back.' Zach Galifianakis — Alan in The Hangover Zach Galifianakis is a captivating comedian. He crushed it so hard as Alan in The Hangover; it's tough to imagine any role topping that. Jesse Eisenberg — Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network Sure, Now You See Me turned into a whole trilogy — but The Social Network is an Oscar-winning masterpiece that cemented Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg forever. And honestly? I'll fight anyone who says it's not his most iconic role. Elliot Page — Juno in Juno Elliot Page is endlessly talented. And while they've proven their talent it in lesser-known gems like Hard Candy (highly recommend, btw), we all remember Juno. The Sunny D, the chair, the hamburger phone and all. Alicia Silverstone — Cher Horowitz in Clueless Alicia Silverstone has been killing it since the early '90s, but her true breakout was — and always will be — Cher Horowitz in Clueless. And if anyone tries to say she's had a bigger role? All I have to say is: 'As if! Ugh.' Sarah Michelle Gellar — Buffy Summers in Buffy the Vampire Slayer Sarah Michelle Gellar is an absolute gift to the screen. Sure, she's unforgettable in Cruel Intentions and Scooby-Doo, but in our minds, she'll always be staking vampires with a crucifix around her neck. She is Buffy through and through. Jennifer Grey — Frances Houseman in Dirty Dancing Fun fact: Mindy in Friends was Jennifer Grey. I know — wild, right? But let's be honest, the only role most of us associate with her is Baby from Dirty Dancing. She danced into our hearts in that first big role and never really left. Amanda Seyfried — Sophie in Mamma Mia Amanda Seyfried has serious range, with a filmography that stretches across genres and decades. Yes, we know she's iconic as Karen in Mean Girls, but nothing tops being a main character alongside Meryl Streep in Mamma Mia. To this day, Sophie is still her best-known role. Honestly, she deserves all the money. money, money. Gabourey Sidibe — Precious in Precious Gabourey Sidibe is the definition of landing a role so powerful that she could've retired the day filming wrapped. Her performance in Precious was that unforgettable — raw, stunning, and career-making. Truly, a standing ovation moment. Nikki Blonsky — Tracy Turnblad in Hairspray These days, Nikki Blonsky might be better known for her cameo videos, but let's not forget she hit it out of the park with her debut in Hairspray. Before she was wishing people Happy Birthday on camera, she was belting out, 'Good morning, Baltimore!' Carrie-Anne Moss — Trinity in The Matrix Although Carrie-Anne Moss was in Memento — one of Christopher Nolan's early masterpieces — it was her role as Trinity in The Matrix that cemented her legacy. Black leather, slow-mo kicks, total badass. And finally: Jon Heder — Napoleon Dynamite in Napoleon Dynamite Jon Heder has such a specific vibe; it's like Napoleon Dynamite was written just for him. He was that role. Which is probably why he'll forever be remembered as Napoleon, tater tots and all. Drop a comment with the stars we missed that are forever frozen in their breakout role — and shout out their underrated projects you think deserved way more love. I'll go first... IMO, Robert Pattinson is one of the best actors of our generation — his filmography is impressive and expansive. So it's kinda tragic that so many people still call him 'the Twilight guy.' Because if you've seen The Lighthouse, you know that man can ACT. And for more fun celeb content, make sure you follow BuzzFeed Canada on TikTok and Instagram!
