The
Oscar-winning
actor
Eddie
Redmayne
revealed
that
he
was
once
auditioned
for
the
character
of
Kylo
Ren
in
the
movie
Stars
Wars:
The
Force
Awakens.
However,
the
actor
did
not
land
the
role.
"They
gave
me
like
a
'Star
Trek'
scene
-
or
like
something
from
'Pride
and
Prejudice.'
It
was
one
of
those
films," Redmayne
said.
"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.
The
Theory
of
Everything
actor
went
on
to
further
reveal
how
he
lost
the
role
to
Adam
Driver,
as
he
was
unable
to
fit
the
bill.
"That
was
really
a
hilarious
moment.
Because
it
was
Nina
Gold
-
who
I
have
to
thank
a
lot
because
she's
cast
me
in
several
films
-
and
she
was
just
sitting
there
and
I
was
trying
again
and
again
with
different
versions
of
my
kind
of
'koohh
paaaah'," said
the
actor.
Redmayne
continued,
"'Darth
Vader
breathing
sound'
voice,
and
after
like
10
shots
she's
like,
'You
got
anything
else?'
I
was
like,
'No.'"
However,
Redmayne
is
now
all
set
to
appear
in
a
much
powerful
role
as
Newt
Scamander
in
the
upcoming
J.K.
Rowling's
Fantastic
Beasts
and
Where
to
Find
Them.
