Jamie Dornan vomited during Rock of Ages audition
Fifty Shades Of Gray star Jamie Dornan is convinced he lost the chance to star in movie musical Rock Of Ages after taking a swig of whiskey right before his audition - and vomiting.
The actor reveals he tried out for a leading role in the big screen adaptation of the Tony Award-winning musical, but he felt the part slipping away from when his audition went horribly awry.
He tells Variety, "I had to sing (Foreigner's) Waiting for a Girl
Like You. It's nearly impossible to sing, and I've got quite a deep
voice when I sing. My audition was at 10 in the morning on the
Warner Bros. lot (and) I convinced myself it would be a good idea
to have a bit of whiskey to relax my vocal cords and maybe as a bit
of a confidence booster. I took a swig of Jameson and I instantly
f**king puked.
"So I'm standing with all these executives driving around in golf
carts, as I'm vomiting on the lot. It was a bad look. I hadn't been
clever enough to bring mouthwash. And then I had to go in, stinking
of whiskey and vomit and proceed to sing Waiting For a Girl Like
You, which I couldn't sing."
He admits, "It was the worst situation ever. Obviously, I didn't
hear anything back."
While Dornan didn't reveal what role he was up for, Diego Boneta
sang Waiting For a Girl Like You in the film, as wannabe rock star
Drew Boley.
