Your Favorite Actors’ Most Awkward Auditions, Revealed

Ryan Reynolds Shut Down

Just like his wife, Ryan Reynolds has a bad audition story of his own. Although he didn’t specify what the audition was for, or who he was auditioning with, but the actress he was reading with intimidated him a lot. So much so that despite the fact that he’d had his monologue memorized and ready to go, it all flew out of his head. “The flop sweat started and for some reason my ears were on fire and this whole thing just turned into an absolute nightmare, and I completely shut down,” Ryan said. “Like, you know things are bad when your central nervous system is quitting on you and you’re in an audition, something as trivial as an audition.”
