Video of Britney Spears’ audition for the film The Notebook has appeared on the internet. This unveiling comes on the eve of the publication, Tuesday, of the singer’s memoirs in which she says she does not regret a career as an actress.
On screen, Britney Spears looks intimidated at first. Then, seconds later, she’s already practically in tears, recoiling from hurtful love. These images are from over 20 years ago, during an audition for the role of Allison Hamilton in Nick Cassavetes’ film The Notebook.
Britney Spears didn’t get the role. Rachel McAdams styled her at the finish line and played against Ryan Gosling. Which the pop princess doesn’t regret, according to People magazine, which published excerpts from her memoir to be released Tuesday under the title The Woman In Me.
“It was pretty much the beginning and end of my acting career,” she says, also talking about the film Crossroads, in which she starred in the early 2000s. “Even if it would have been fun to reconnect with Ryan Gosling after the Mickey Mouse Club days, I’m glad I didn’t do it. If I had, instead of working on my album In the Zone, I would have acted like a 1940s heiress day and night. »
