Actors Almost Cast in Iconic Roles
00:00:52
Speaker
for our fun fact of the day. Let's talk about a few almost castings in some famous rom-coms.
00:00:59
Speaker
It's hard to imagine any of these films without their original stars, but let's get into it. First, did you know that Pretty in Pink star Molly Ringwald was the first choice to play Vivian Ward in Pretty Woman?
00:01:12
Speaker
Of course, that part went to Julia Roberts. Julia Roberts was also offered the lead in Sleepless in Seattle, but that one ended up going to Meg Ryan, which I can't imagine that one without Meg Ryan.
00:01:25
Speaker
And here's a classic. Breakfast at Tiffany's is Audrey Hepburn's most iconic role, but did you know that the author of the book, Truman Capote, actually had Marilyn Monroe in mind for the part?
00:01:38
Speaker
And here are a couple more. Reese Witherspoon auditioned hard for the part of Cher in Clueless, although that ended up going to Alicia Silverstone. Alicia Silverstone was also considered to play Elle Woods in Legally Blonde, but that one went to Reese Witherspoon.
Comparing Hosts to Rom-Com Characters
00:01:56
Speaker
All right, let's jump into a quick round of This or That based on today's theme.
00:02:03
Speaker
This or That Are you more like Amanda played by Cameron Diaz from The Holiday or Iris played by Kate Winslet in The Holiday?
00:02:14
Speaker
Ooh, I feel like I really relate to Amanda just because she's a workaholic and, you know, needing to let my guard down a little bit. I think I'm more like her. What about you? I would say the same. I'm probably more like Amanda. um Kate Winslet is definitely more of a hopeless romantic probably. And I'm a little more of a skeptical person like Amanda. So yeah, I'd have to go with her as well.
Debating Ideal Rom-Com Settings
00:02:41
Speaker
Okay, this or that. Rom-com settings. Cozy settings like coffee shops and bookstores, or scenic settings like tropical vacations.
00:02:52
Speaker
I would definitely have to go with the cozy setting. Okay. even just thinking about the holiday, I loved like the little cozy looking pub in the holiday. That sounds like you. I think most of the rom-coms I enjoy are tropical settings. Okay. Maybe because it feels like more of an escape from reality. by Yeah. But I don't know. Like think about 50 First Dates and – yeah Anyone but you, I love those. Yeah. I don't know. I guess I'm more of a cozy girl. I don't know. Yeah. You are.
00:03:21
Speaker
I'd rather just like have a day where we sit and read books together. That just sounds really nice to me. And drink coffee. Oh my God. That's like the best date ever. Okay.
