Eddie Redmayne auditioned for ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’

Actor Eddie Redmayne has revealed that he auditioned for the
role of Kylo Ren in 2015 film StarWars: The Force Awakens two years
ago.

Redmayne said that he had a “catastrophically bad”
reading for the Star Wars villain, reports variety.com.

“They gave me like a ‘Star Trek’ scene — or like
something from ‘Pride and Prejudice’. It was one of those films,” Redmayne
told news website Uproxx.

“With films that top secret, they don’t give you the
actual lines. So they give you a scene from ‘Pride and Prejudice’, but then
they tell you you’re auditioning for the baddie. If you’re me, you then put
some ridiculous voice on,” he added.

Redmayne didn’t get to play the role, but he can next be
seen as Newt Scamander in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which
is slated to release on November 18.
