Reese Witherspoon shockingly disclosed that she was not cast in Gone Girl by director David Fincher.
She openly talked about how the director rejected her for the role of Amy Dunne, which ultimately went to Rosamund Pike, during an appearance on the Las Culturistas podcast.
“I had all these conversations with the writer Gillian Flynn, and she was like, ‘No, I’d really like you to do it,'” the Legally Blonde actress recalled when she was offered the part.
She went on to disclose the American director’s remark, saying, “But he was like, ‘You’re wrong.'” For me, it was first and foremost an ego check. “No, you’re not right for everything,” I said. He was correct. He was entirely correct.
