In case you were wondering, it could have been Jennifer Lawrence on-screen as one of the blood-sucking vampires in the Twilight franchise if the Hollywood titan had it her way.
In a new interview with Howard Stern, the 27-year-old heavyweight, who is currently making the rounds to promote her new film, Red Sparrow, dropped the tidbit, admitting that she tried out for the first 2008 film, way before Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson were even cast. "I didn't really know what it was," she confessed of the Stephanie Meyer novel.
"I didn't really know what it was," she said with a laugh. "When you audition when you're like a run-of-the-mill actor ― you know we're all auditioning for all sorts of things ― you just get like five pages and they're like, 'Act monkey.' When it came out, I was like, 'Hot damn! Whoa!'"
Lawrence has actually only been "devastated" over losing out to one role and that’s the iconic character of Alice in Tim Burton's adaptation of Alice in Wonderland, which was released in 2010. "The one thing that really killed me, like, the only time I’ve ever been truly devastated by losing an audition … was Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. That one devastated me," she explained during the interview. Mila Wasikowska ended up being cast as the famed blonde character and even Lawrence considered her "perfect and amazing." "I couldn't have had a British accent," she added.
