Appearing as a guest on the TV show The Graham Norton show that aired last Friday night (October 28), Taylor Swift suddenly revealed about a “nightmare” experience that took place 10 years ago.

Taylor Swift suddenly recounted the most terrifying audition experience of her life

“The country music princess” told MC of The Graham Norton show about the first time she auditioned in her life in 2012.

She said it was the movie Les Miserables, directed by Tom Hopper. At that time, because she loved acting so much and met famous actor Eddie Redmayne, Taylor Swift was excited to go to the movie casting.

At that time, the female singer was quite confident that she was suitable for both characters, Cosette and Eponine, so she accepted the invitation to audition. With the eagerness to wait for “experiences that will come again in life”, Taylor Swift had to go through literally bad things – the Anti-Hero singer shared.

Swift said she had a nightmare experience when she had to wear scary makeup to audition for the role of Eponine

Specifically, Taylor Swift had to wear a horrible makeup with her teeth painted brown as if they were rotting to get the most realistic image through the camera lens. The singer said the makeup made her feel like she was about to die.

And it was a real nightmare when she met Eddie Redmayne – the person she admired but couldn’t open his mouth to talk to the actor.

Eddie Redmayne also revealed a “smelling garlic” experience with Taylor Swift

Meanwhile, male star Eddie Redmayne also shared about the “garlic-smelling” memories he had with this “country music princess”.

Eddie said that before going to the audition, he ate pizza marinated in garlic powder. So when he met the famous female singer, he could hardly think about anything other than the smell of garlic on his breath.

Perhaps all of those external reasons made Taylor Swift and Eddie Redmayne have the most awkward combination performance in their lives. And the audition event became a memorable memory for both of these stars.

Although Taylor Swift’s audition was widely reported by the media, in the end the role of Eponine was assigned by director Tom Hopper to Samatha Barkd – who played this role in the musical version of Les Miserables. And Eddie Redmayne is still assigned the role of Marius.

In addition, the film also has the participation of famous stars such as: Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Russell Crowe, Amanda Seyfried, Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen.
