Your Favorite Actors’ Most Awkward Auditions, Revealed

Lucy Hale Didn’t Score

Just in case you didn’t know, former Pretty Little Liars star Lucy Hale actually auditioned to play Anastasia Steele in Fifty Shades of Grey, and as you can imagine, that audition was just as weird as it sounds. While talking to Cosmopolitan, Lucy called it an “uncomfortable” experience, and judging by her description of what went down, we’re inclined to agree. “It’s exactly what you thought it would be: a big monologue but very, very sexual,” she told the mag. “There were some things that I was so embarrassed to be reading out loud, but it’s one of those things where you have to commit wholeheartedly or you’re going to make a fool of yourself.” Sounds like it’s a good thing Dakota Johnson ended up with that gig instead.
