Your Favorite Actors’ Most Awkward Auditions, Revealed

Blake Doubtfire? Doubtful.

You may not have known this about Blake Lively, but when she was a kid, she auditioned for the role Mara Wilson eventually got in Mrs. Doubtfire. It was down to the two of them for the role, and after Blake saw a movie starring Robin Williams the night before her audition, she was really starstruck to read with him the next day. Her mom tried to fool her to get her to calm down, but it totally backfired. “So she’s like, ‘OK, Blake, this isn’t Robin Williams. This is his twin brother. Robin Williams is in Europe right now, so you’re going to meet his twin brother,'” Blake said. “So I go in there and I’m sitting there and they’re like, ‘OK, this is Robin.’ And I said, ‘You’re not his twin?’ And then I walked out of the room and she said, ‘So how’d it go?’ And I said, ‘I don’t know, he had morning breath.’ That’s how we left it. It was horrible.”
